V Be it known `that .1, .CAnoLiNn FooTn MARSH, a citizen ofthe United States, and va resident'of the borougli'of Manhattan, city, county, andv State of New York, have invent-v ed certain newnntl 'useful Improvements in Vitreous Articles and Same, of which the following is a specification.

`My invention relates to vitreous articles andprocess of treating same,I and' particularly to the protection and ornamentation of glass articles, including ornamental 'or 'protecting parte securely afa part thereof.

It refers to the lglass article itself provided with such a metallic ornementation and prctection and to the `process lof making such. ar-

1 ticle.

The invention further' consists of various' combinations and details whicliwill be'de' scribed in the specification and pointed ont the claims.. The essence of the invention resides in 5 forming the glass article either. timing the process of manufactureor afterward with depressed portions which are cfterwarri iilled Y iigitli an electrically-deposited metallic orna- .nentaton or band, whereby the metal is firmly secured to the glass article, preferably metal flush with each other, and in any cese so that the nietal parte are intiniatelyirmited with the glass and cannot be dislodged th erefrom Without breakage.

In 'the drawings; Figure 1 is an elevetion'oi' a'bottlc embodying m invention. Fig. 2 is A Y a vertical section of tie same, and Fig'. 3 a

fragmentary section showingr li modiiicntion.

i designates the body of si bottle, of which is the neck. The bottle l is either 'formed the process of manufacture with the (lefiressed ortions 3 or such ilepressions are producer inthe surface of the bottle after its manufacture. The depressions 3 are thon iilled wit-l1 a metallic orn ainentetion i, shown in the present case ns a series` of concentric bands surrounded by a Sunburst or plurality of waved radial lines.

Ao already stated, the depressed portions 8 may lio formed in the bottle when it is blown or molded; but ordinarily prefer to form bottle in tire usual manner and afterward tor-nt out tlilfsedepressions by means of a ssn-dfblast or by chemical means. Where Processes of Treating bott-les and the like, by means of metal bands, insertions, or other the clepressions are mede byl'a sand-blast, their edges 11 will beujsulvstantially at right angles with the adjacent surface and Witl1' the bottom oft-lie depression. Where, however, as sl'iownin Fig. 3, l form a depression 12 by etching array the surface ofthe glass by means of hyf'iroiluoric acid or flic like, the edges-13 offtlre depression'will be undercut, as shown, tlzicreby forming a nfore secure anchorage the n'. et al portion 4;

Whether the depressed portions arecut away by mechanical or chemical means, in any case their surfaces will be rougliened, which will aiiord a more secure adhesion of the metallic portions thereto. These depressed portions, wlietler lformed` in the course of manufacture or afterwarrlras de-` scribed, sreordincrily covered with metal by first coating thorn with a composition com# posed'fo a metal having a good electric conductivi-ty together with a suitable flux and ordinari y s. powdered vitreous ,material 'lhe bottle or other article is then fired in a kiln in the usuel manner to i'usethis compo.

sition, smi. the article is then placed in lan eleotrolytic batir and the metal parte' deposited thereon. This process is. preferably con tinueii until the edges of the metal parts are iusli with the ed 'scent lazed suriece, so that the meeting e ges ci t le glass and of the metalare intimately uniteand in the sente lane. it will be seen that tile metal' which nils the depression is s soliti mass, the contasting-fi. e., the lower lateral-'surfaces of which are unitedfby tile firing operation to the vitreous article. 1

lt is evident that my invention may be spplied to other articles beside bottles and tirs-t it is capable of bein varied Within consideru able limits Without eparting from its spirit.

On December 28, 1905, I- iiled en applica@ tion for an article of' pottery and .process ofA ceiyed Serial No. 293,567. -l do not intenti4 'to claim in this application anything y shown' or described, therein.'

nWlnitl clainrism l. A vitreous article having a portion ci' Tits surface depressed and rougliencd, suoli depressed portieri losing filled with a metal, the contacting surface of which is fired onto the vitreous article.

2. A vitreous articleliltving a portionv oi its .surface rlepressedand rongliened, seid depressed portion being ijrmed Withlindercut roo of metal intimately unitedwith said covering.

4. A vitreous article having a 'ortion of its surface depressed and artiiicia ly roughened, said depressed portion beingcovered with a composition iired thereon, and a filling of metal intimatelv united with said covering,I the meeting edges of said depressed of'-v tions and of said metal filling being usl with each other.

S. A process of treating. vitreous articles comprisin the removal of portions of the surfaces ot such articles to form depressions, the application to such depressed portions ot a composition containing `a metal and a linx, the iii-mg of the article to use such compostion, and the deposition upon the fused compositionof a metal of suiiicient thickness to vtill said `depressed portions.
