PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in Treating or Ornamenting Glass and Glass-ware.
Communicated by CAMILLE LASALLE and CHARLES MAUTTER, both of 86, Boulevard
Richard Lenoir, Paris, in France, Manufacturers.
I MAX SUGAR of 183 Regent Street in the county of Middlesex Merchant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is the treatment or ornamentation of glass and glass-
ware in such wise that an highly decorative effect can be produced in the glass and in
most articles of glass-ware excepting perhaps such articles as are designed to hold
liquids or gases at a very small cost but with no diminution therefor of the ornamen-
tality of the same.
To carry out this object I take the piece of glass or glass-ware that is to be treated
or ornamented and having cut or created therein the desired number of apertures of
the required sizes and shapes 1 place therein corresponding pieces of glass or other
transparent or semitransparent material of the desired colour or colours and I secure
these pieces in these apertures in any convenient manner and by any suitable means
as for example by any of the usual cements but I preferably use clips of sheet metal
to clasp the edges of the adjacent parts. These pieces so inserted may have plane and
parallel surfaces as have the majority of glass and articles of glass-ware or they may
be of a spherical or semispherical or prismatic or conoidal or other shape whereby
their ornamentality and effective appearance will be greatly increased.

Improvements in Treating or Ornamenting Glass and Glass-ware.
Communicated by CAMILLE LASALLE and CHARLES MAUTTER, both of 86, Boulevard
Richard Lenoir, Paris, in France, Manufacturers.
I MAX SUGAR of 183 Regent Street in the county of Middlesex Merchant do
hereby declare the nature of this invention and in what manner the same is to be
performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the following
statement:-
The object of this invention is the treatment or ornamentation of glass and glass-
ware in such wise that an highly decorative effect can be produced in the glass and in
most articles of glass-ware excepting perhaps such articles of glass-ware as are
designed and intended to hold liquids or gases or fluids of all descriptions and this
decorative effect is produced at a comparatively very small cost but with no diminution
therefor or on account of the same of the ornainentality or decorativeness of the glass
and glass-ware.
To carry out this object I take the piece of glass or article of glass-ware that is to be
treated or ornamented and having in any usual or convenient manner made or cut or
anywise created therein in the proper positions the desired number of apertures of the
required sizes and shapes 1 place in these apertures pieces of glass or other transparent
or translucent or semitransparent or semitranslucent material of the desired colour or
colours and of the proper corresponding and similar sizes and shapes in plan or there-
abouts and I secure these pieces of glass or other material in the proper corresponding
apertures in any usual or convenient manner and by any usual or suitable means or
devices as for example by any of the ordinary cements but in most cases I preferably
use clips of sheet metal made in any proper and ordinary manner to clasp the edges
of the adjacent parts that is to say the edges of the apertures and the edges of the

page_text: pieces that are to be secured therein. The pieces of glass or other material so inserted
and secured in the apertures in the glass or glass-ware as hereinbefore described may
have plane and parallel surfaces as has most glass and as have the majority perhaps of
articles of glass-ware and these surfaces may be in the same plane as or be on a level
with the adjoining surfaces of the piece of glass or article of glass-ware with which
they are used or these pieces may project from and beyond the aforesaid plane or level
of the surfaces of the glass or glass-ware and on one or both of the faces thereof and
may be of a spherical or semispherical or prismatic or conical or conoidal or other
shape and in many cases and for many purposes this latter style of formation and
construction is the more preferable as it is very obvious that by this projection in
various shapes of the inserted pieces of glass or other material as hereinbefore
described the ornamentality or decorativeness and the effective appearance of the glass
and glass-ware will be greatly increased.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed I declare that what I
claim is
The method of and means for treating or ornamenting glass and glass-ware sub-
stantially as hereinbefore described and set forth.
