Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6, Lord Street, Liverpool and 6, Bank Street,
Manchester both in the County of Lancaster and 323 High Holborn in the
County of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows;
This invention has for its object to give a motallic appearance to and render
more durable pots, vases, mugs, plates and the like of porcelain, earthenware,
etcetera.
"
This is done by such articles being provided on their outsides with a metallic
coating by means of the galvanic process.
By this means on the one hand such articles as are adorned with plastic
decorations have their plastic effect considerably increased, and on the other hand,
as already stated, their durability is so increased that any breakage of the same is
as much as possible prevented.

COMPLETE SPECIFICATION.
Improvements in or in the Manufacture of Vases, Mugs, Plates, and
other like Vessels or Articles.
A communication by PHILIPP SEY BOTH, of 1/II, Colosseumstrasse, Munich, in the
Empire of Germany, Nickel Plater.
1, WILLIAM PHILLIPS THOMPSON, F.C.S. M.I.M.E., of the Agency for
Foreign Patent Solicitors, 6 Lord Street, Liverpool, and 6 Bank Street,
Manchester, both in the County of Lancaster, and 323 High Holborn, in the County
of Middlesex, Civil Engineer, 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 :-
This invention has for its object to give a metallic appearance to and render
more durable pots, vases, mugs, plates and the like of porcelain, earthenware,
etcetera.
This is done by such articles being provided on their outsides with a metallic
coating by means of the following process:-
This process consists in first saturating the earthenware, porcelain or glass
article with water glass and then allowing them to dry. When dried, the articles
are again saturated or coated with chloride of calcium. A crust of silicate of lime
is thus formed on the surface of the article, which, when thoroughly dried, is
lacquered or varnished, and afterwards this latter is coated with graphite in the
usual way.
The coating of metal is then deposited by the usual electro-typing process and
adheres extremely firmly to the articles, troated in the manner hereinbofore
described.

as already stated, their durability is so increased that any breakage of the same is
as much as possible prevented:
Having now particularly described and ascertained the nature of the said inven-
tion and in what manner the same is to be performed, as communicated to me
by my foreign correspondent, I declare that what I claim is :-
The improvement in the manufacture of pots, vases, mugs, plates or the like,
with the object of imparting to the same a metallic appearance and thereby
rendering them more durable, which consists essentially in first saturating them
with water glass, then drying, and again saturating or coating them with chloride
of calcium, after which they are lacquered or varnished, coated with graphite and a
metallic coating deposited thereon by the usual electrotyping process, substantially
as described.
