page_text: We FREDERIC LESLIE JEYES of 20 Budge Row, Cannon Street in the City of
London Civil Engineer and FRED SHORT of 3 South Square Gray's Inn in the
County of Middlesex Solicitor's Clerk do hereby declare the nature of this invention
to be as follows
This invention relates to the mode of producing on glass ornamentations devices or
designs of any required description which shall not be liable to be affected by friction
or atmospheric influence or by the cleaning of the article and in carrying out this
invention it is necessary that the moulds in which the Glass is to be moulded or
impressed shall be made in such a manner that the required design shall be raised
on the sui face at equal or different heights as the case may be in order to cause
different effects when impressed into the glass instead of being, as is usual cut into
the mould; the edges of the design shall also have a suitable bevel to admit of the
mould delivering properly after the glass has been inserted into it. The design in
this manner is impressed on the under side of the object and consequently leaves a
smooth outer surface which it is intended shall be the side exposed to wear. In order
more fully to ornament and bring more prominently into view the design impressed
into the glass it is intended to color it appropriately in oil colors or in any other
suitable media, which being done upon the under side of the article prevents its
exposure or liability to damage as the article can be lined or covered in to prevent
access to the back of it. By these means a speedy and efficient ornamentation is pro-
duced which is also of a lasting description and the expense of fireing or the use of
chemicals are dispensed with. This mode of decorating or ornamenting impressed
Glass-ware applies more particularly to articles having flat surfaces.
