PROVISIONAL SPECIFICATION left by the said Moses Poole at
the Office of the Commissioners of Patents, with his Petition,
on the 26th April 1853.
I, MOSES POOLE, of the Avenue Road, Regent's Park, in the County:
of Middlesex, do hereby declare the nature of the said Invention for
"IMPROVEMENTS IN THE MANUFACTURE OF PORCELAIN AND LIKE WARES
to be as follows:-
This is a communication from Mons" Jacob Petit, 32, Rue de Bondy,
Paris, and has for its object the employment of articles of porcelain and
like manufactures of different thicknesses at different parts, so that light
transmittted through the same will pass more freely at some parts than:
at others, which is well known. And the Invention consists of com-
bining, with such descriptions of manufactures; the art of painting and
coloring to bring out with better effect the designs produced by the
different thicknesses of material:.

page_text: SPECIFICATION in pursuance of the conditions of the Letters Patent,
filed by the said Moses Poole in the Great Seal Patent Office,
on the 26th October 1853.
TO ALL TO WHOM THESE PRESENTS SHALL COME, I,
MOSES POOLE, of the Avenue. Road, Regent's Park, in the County of
Middlesex, send greeting.
WHEREAS Her most Excellent Majesty Queen Victoria, by Her
Letters Patent, bearing date the Twenty-sixth day of April, in the
year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-three, in the
sixteenth year of Her reign, did, for Herself, Her heirs and successors,
give and grant unto me, the said Moses Poole, Her special licence
that I, the said Moses Poole, my executors, administrators, and assigns,
or such others as I, the said Moses Poole, my executors, adminis-
trators, and assigns, should at any time agree with, and no others,
from time to time and at all times thereafter during the term therein
expressed, should and lawfully might make, use, exercise, and vend,
within the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Ireland, the Channel
Islands, and Isle of Man, an Invention for "IMPROVEMENTS IN THE
MANUFACTURE OF PORCELAIN AND LIKE WARES," upon the condition
(amongst others) that I, the said Moses Poole, by an instrument in
writing under my hand and seal, should particularly describe and
ascertain the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the
same was to be performed, and cause the same to be filed in the
Great Seal Patent Office within six calendar months next and imme-
diately after the date of the said Letters Patent.
NOW KNOW YE, that I, the said Moses Poole, do hereby declare
the nature of the said Invention, and in what manner the same is to
be performed, to be particularly described and ascertained in and by
the following statement thereof (that is to say):
This Invention, which is a communication from Monsieur Jacob
Petit, of 32, Rue de Bondy, Paris, is as follows:-
Heretofore it has been ordinary to ornament articles of porcelaine
and other similar manufactures by applying to the same color, so as to
produce a pattern or design. It has also been usual to make orna-
mental articles of porcelain, the different parts of which are of different

page_text: degrees of thickness, according to a pattern or design, which thus
becomes visible when the article is viewed by transmitted light. Now
this Invention consists in combining together these two different
methods of making ornamental articles of porcelain, by which very
beautiful effects may be produced in such articles as are usually viewed
by transmitted light, such as lamp shades, sky-lights, screens, and other
articles of a similar nature, to which this Invention is peculiarly
applicable.
In making ornamental articles according to this Invention, the
article is first moulded in porcelain in the manner well understood,
making those parts thinnest through which it is desired that the light
shall pass with the greatest facility. The article so moulded having
been burnt and glazed, is painted in the ordinary manner of porcelain
painting, either on the exterior or interior surface, and either in one or
more colors, according to the nature of the effect to be produced, and
the colors are burnt in in the ordinary manner.
Having thus described the nature of this Invention, and the manner
of performing the same, I would have it understood that I do not claim
either of the processes separately; but what I claim is the combining
the two above-mentioned processes in the manufacture of ornamental
articles of porcelain.
In witness whereof, I, the' said Moses Poole, have hereunto set
my hand and seal, this Twenty-fourth day of October, in
the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and fifty-
three.
Witness, B. GOBEY,
Clerk to Messrs. Carpmael,
