kinds of Pottery Ware by the Use of Skeletons or Fibres of
Leaves or other Parts of Plants, Trees, or Vegetables, or of
Insects, or any thing capable of being Skeletonized.
We HENRY SAMUEL SANT, of Holly House Alsager, in the County of Cheshire,
Agent and SAMUEL SANT of Holly House Alsager, in the County of Cheshire
Potters Manager do hereby declare the nature of our invention for "A NEW
PROCESS FOR THE DECORATION, MOSAIC OR OTHERWISE OF ALL KINDS OF POTTERY
WARE, BY THE USE OF SKELETONS OR FIBRES OF LEAVES, OR OTHER PARTS OF
PLANTS, TREES OR VEGETABLES, OR OF INSECTS OR ANY THING CAPABLE OF BEING
SKELETONIZED," to be as follows:-
We decompose or dissolve by chemical process the solid or tissue parts of any
leaf, plant, flower, root, or stem, or of insects or any thing capable of being skele-
tonized, leaving the fibres, veins and filaments in a skeleton state. We then take
a Mould or Bat of Plaster of Paris, pitcher, plastic or otherwise, that will absorb
water or moisture. Placing the skeleton on this Mould or Bat, we carefully pencil
or trace it over with moisture so that it may adhere to the Mould or Bat--We then
fill up such parts of the Skeleton or Fibre that have been deprived of the tissue or
solid substance with white or coloured clays, or with Pottery and Porcelain Colors,
whereby we obtain an artificial tissue, or body, in appearance similar to that which
has been destroyed or decomposed, the Mould or Bat absorbing the moisture or
water of the said clay. By means of the aforenamed decorative process we are
able to produce the fac-simile of the natural leaf, plant, tree, or vegetable, or insect,
or any other thing capable of being skeletonized, with such variations of tints,
colors, or moulding as we may think desirable.
This decoration can be either carried out direct on to the Ware, or affixed at any
time as may be desired.

SKELETONISED and in what manner the same is to be performed, to be particularly
described and ascertained in and by the following statement:-
We decompose or dissolve by chemical process the solid or tissue parts of any
leaf plant flower root or stem or of insects or any thing capable of being skele-
tonised leaving the fibres veins and filaments in a skeleton state.
We then take a mould or bat of plaster of Paris, pitcher, plastic or otherwise,
that will absorb water or moisture. Placing the skeleton on this mould or bat we
carefully pencil or trace it over with moisture so that it may adhere to the mould
or bat. We then fill up such parts of the skeleton or fibre that have been deprived
of the tissue or solid substance with white or coloured clays or with pottery and

By means of the aforenamed decorative process we are able to produce the fac-

capable of being skeletonised with such variations of tints, colors or moulding as
we may think desirable.
This decoration can be either carried out direct on the Ware or affixed at any
time as may be desired.
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 claim is:-
First. The right of decorating Mosaic or otherwise all kinds of Pottery Ware
by the use of skeletons or fibres of leaves or other parts of plants trees vegetables
or of insects or any thing capable of being skeletonised.
