glutinous substance, upon which is stretched a covering of lace made of fibrous
substances and previously cut to fit the configuration of the surface of the article
to be ornamented.
The lace covering is coated either before or after it is stretched over the
prepared surface of the article to be ornamented with a gelatine or glutinous
substance, by the application of which, the threads composing the lace are more
rigidly held together and the lace ornamental covering hardened.

otherwise ornamented, decorated and protected by any suitable compound or com-
pounds; or the ornamentation, decoration and protection of the lace may be
accomplished by the application of any such compound or compounds to the lace
before it is stretched over the surface and attached to the vessel in the manner
hereinbefore described.
