Colouring Glass, Porcelain, China, and other like Substances to
Imitate Stained Glass, and for Mounting same, or not, with
Leaden, Metal, Wood, or Paper Borders for Decorative Purposes,
being Improvements in Ornamenting Glass, Porcelain, China, and
other like Substances.
I HENRY NORRIS of 54 Bishopsgate Street Within in the City of London printer
do hereby declare the nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
First, I thoroughly cleanse the glass porcelain china or other like substance from all
dirty greasy or fatty substances adhering thereto by properly washing the same with
a mixture of whitening and water or other suitable material and afterwards drying
the sail glass porcelain china or other like substance thoroughly.
Second, I prepare strips of flat lead or any other kind of metal suitable for the
purpose or any sort of wood or paper material capable of adoption in imitation
thereof of any desired width and either fasten the same to pulp or any other sort of
paper or wood as may be desired or deemed necessary by paste gum or any other
suitable material or not so as to enable divisions or patterns to be formed therewith
upon the glass porcelain china or other like substance on one or both sides to make
any required design for the reception of similar or different colors that may be thought
proper. Such prepared lead or any other kind of metal suitable for the purpose or any
sort of wood or paper material as aforesaid to be gummed glued cemented or otherwise
prepared on one side so as to readily adhere to the glass porcelain china or other like
substance.
Third, To affix the said prepared lead metal wood or paper strips to both or the
front surface of the said glass porcelain china or other like substance in any desired
pattern by moistening or otherwise liquifying the gummed glued cemented or other-
wise prepared side of the said lead metal wood or paper and adhesion.
Fourth, When the said prepared glass porcelain china or other like substance and
lead metal wood or paper is dry the same is again thoroughly cleansed in like manner
as described in clause one of this my provisional specification.

page_text: Fifth, To apply to such prepared glass porcelain china or other like substance
delineated and divided by the said lead metal wood or paper any desired tint or hue
of ordinary colored spirit varnish or if found preferable any ordinary colors or dyes
and to afterwards varnish or otherwise coat the said colors or dyes or not as may be
thought fit upon the surface of the said prepared glass porcelain china or other like
substance in the different spaces made by the divisions thereof by the said lead metal
wood or paper as before mentioned on a side or both sides on which the said lead metal
wood or paper design is made as before mentioned allowing the said colors to harden
by exposure to the air or otherwise.
The advantages and novelty which I claim for my said invention are that by the
adoption of my said processes glass porcelain china or other like substance can be
prepared in imitation of stained glass manufactured in the ordinary way by admixture
of the colouring material with the glass before manufacture or by burning in the
colors and that I thereby obtain a better and more brilliant and varied shade of color
at a much reduced cost and of an equally durable nature and by affixing the said
prepared lead metal wood or paper on the glass porcelain china or other like substance-
in imitation of leaded or any other metallic bordered or designed glass. The said
glass porcelain china or other suitable material when prepared by my said processes as
aforesaid will retain its colors for any length of time without deterioration.
