To
Our Invention has for its object the manufacture of Ceramics into name and
inscription plates and tablets by the aid of movable sections which when placed
together forin a mould into which said mould the potters' presser puts and presses
the clay, dust, or other Ceramic body until the required consistency shape and
solidity is obtained previous to being lifted from the mould for the potters' oven.
In carrying out our Invention it is first of all necessary to make several sets or
founts of type peculiar to the process; such types are so made that when the clay
cast is taken from the mould it will show the same incised lettering as is now done
by cutting into slate, stone, marble, &c, or the reverse, i e-stand out in relief.

letterpress printers, but the shoulders of these letters and ornaments with their
spaces are all cast to the same height while the face of such letters and ornaments
rise conically or V shaped or otherwise as desired from their shoulders as before
stated and to the ordinary standard of type height. The design or inscription is

plate, or tablet, are required to stand up or project from the surface we employ
letters sunk V or ☐ shape, and with the ordinary flat face; or cut into the metal

SHAW, of 6 Perry Street, Dudley Road, Wolverhampton, Telegraphist; and
EDMUND SAMUEL SHAW, of 25 High Street Tunstall, Printer, all in the County of
Stafford do hereby declare the nature of our invention for PRODUCING CERAMIC
PLATES WITH INSCRIPTIONS NAMES AND OTHER DESIGNS IN RELIEF OR INTAGLIO
USED FOR ADVERTISING MEMORIAM AND OTHER PURPOSES and in what manner the
same is to be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by the
following statement:―
Our Invention has for its object the manufacture of Ceramic name and inscrip-
tion plates and tablets by the aid of movable types and sections which when placed
together form a mould into which said mould the potters' presser puts and presses
the clay dust or other Ceramic body until the required consistency and solidity is
obtained, or the presser may bat out and form the clay as required and any shape
desired and then impress it on the type form previous to being lifted from the
mould for the potter's oven. In carrying out our Invention it is first of all
necessary to have various sets or founts of type peculiar to the process such types
are so made that when the clay cast is taken from the mould it will show the same
incised lettering as is now done by cutting into slate, stone, or marble, or the
reverse, i.e, stand out in relief from the face.
To produce this kind of inscription plate we employ letters and ornaments
similar to those employed by letterpress printers, but the shoulders of the letters
and ornaments and spaces must be cut or cast to the same height, while the face of
such letters and ornaments should be cut A or shape or otherwise as desired
from their shoulders as before stated and to the ordinary standard of type height.
The design or inscription to be used is set up as required while outside borders
made in the same aforenamed way may be used to improve the appearance and
finish off the mould for the presser. When the letters upon the plate or tablet are
required to stand up or project from the surface we employ letters sunk conically
or V or shape as required.
The face of the type or ornaments when ready for impressing in the clay or
other material may be rolled over with a mixture containing a mineral colour and
thereby save the necessity of painting-in the lettering after the plates etc have
been fired.
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of our said
.Invention, and in what manner the same is to be performed we declare that what
we clain is :-
The production of Ceramic name and other plates from moulds formed of
movable types substantially as described and for the purposes set forth.
