An Improved Method of Glass Mosaic Decoration.
WILLIAM KIERSCH, of No. 3, Blackhorse Yard, Grays Inn Road, in the County
of London, Manufacturer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention and in
what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascer-
tained in and by the following statement:-
A new method of glazing pieces of glass with putty on perforated zinc, iron,
copper or any other perforated material such as woven wire canvas cane wicker
work or other mineral or vegetable material so as to form a design or picture.
My new method is as follows:-
(a) To make silver glass.
I take white plain glass clean it well and lay a coat of copal varnish (or any
other suitable varnish) on the glass and let it stay a little while then I put the
silver on or aluminium leaves and spread it over so as to cover it and let it dry
for a day or two in a warm place, when perfectly dry I paint it over with white
lead paint, then when dry I cut it into pieces to form any design or picture then
I cover the painted side with putty and place it on perforated zinc or woven wire
canvas, cane, wicker or other mineral or vegetable material.
(b) To make silver satin glass--I use mottled or rippled glass same as would

I take orange plain glass and place on it silver or American gold or abysinian
metal or bronze and follow the same process as at (a).
(d) To make gold satin glass.
I take mottled glass to suit the color required and clean it and follow the same
process as at (a).
(e) To make green glass.

and when dry follow the same process as at (a).

(2) To make marble glass.
take glass and clean it well and then I take a real piece of marble as a
copy and paint it on glass with oil paint and covered before dry with pummice
stone whiting or white lead or sand or powdered marble or spangles and then let
dry and follow the same process as at (a).
() To make sea shells such as oysters or other shells or pearls. I take glass
clean it well and then I take a real shell and paint it with transparent paint or
varnish, before dry covered with gold silver aluminium leaves or bronze such
color as may be required and then let it dry and follow the same process as at (a).
(k) To take a photo I take glass clean it and then I take the photo and copy it
with oil paint on glass and follow the same process as at (a).

The putty I use is to be made of boiled linseed oil, white lead or whiting, ochre
or any other vegetable or mineral powder mixed to a paste or mixture usually
called putty to cement the glass and perforated material together.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of my said
invention and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what
I claim is:-
1. The method of making glass mosaic decoration by glazing pieces of glass
with putty on perforated zinc, iron copper or any other perforated material sub-
stantially as herein before described.
2. The method of producing the various colours or tints to the pieces of glass
as described above.
