GOLD DECORATIONS ON GLASS 
D. M. Campana. 
IiN looking at glasses manufactured by reknown European 
factories you will easily admire the brilliancy and 
quality of the gold decorations. They almost have as per- 
fect a gold as found on china decorations, and I will explain 
here how the effect is attained. Of course, the gold used 
must be good. Apply it mixed with Turpentine and rather 
heavy, as in this way you may be able to produce a good 
effect in one firing. Burnish it with good, white burnish- 
ing sand and proceed afterward to rub it carefully with 
Blood Stone (if possible with a broad round point). 
This Blood Stone will bring up the brilliancy of the gold 
but will leave many marks or streaks. 
You now take some powdered Sugar of Lead, make 
a thick paste, using water, and with a broad brush you 
apply it over the gold. It does not matter if this paste is 
accidentally applied out of the gold. Leave undisturbed for 
few hours and rub the paste off with a piece of rag. Your 
gold will now look smooth and clear and will remain always 
perfect in wearing quality and appearance. 
In a former article I have mentioned the use of Liquid 
Bright Gold, which can be mixed with Roman Gold for all- 
over decorations such as feet, handles, etc. 
You can also use it on edges provided such gold is 
applied both inside and outside. Liquid Gold in connection 
with Roman Gold will, when applied on one side of the 
glass, look well on the side of the application, and will look 
dark and unpleasant on the opposite side. 
Pure Roman Gold will look yellow also on the reverse 
and this is a great advantage. 
Gold and Lustres decorations can be accomplished in 
one firing by applying the Lustres inside the glasses and 
the gold outside.
