Abstract
A method for decorative coloring of glass, which comprises coating the surface of a glass article containing alkali metal oxides and sulfide sulfur with a composition comprising at least one of silver and copper compounds and a vanadium compound capable of forming vanadium pentoxide by subsequent heat-treatment, and then heat-treating the coated article at a temperature and for a period of time sufficient to obtain the desired degree of coloration.
Claims7
A method for decorative coloring of glass having a granite-like decorative design, which comprises coating the surface of a glass article containing alkali metal oxides and sulfide sulfur with a composition comprising a copper compound and a vanadium compound capable of forming vanadium pentoxide by subsequent heat-treatment, the amount of said vanadium compound being such that vanadium pentoxide resulting from the heat-treatment of the vanadium compound forms a melt together with the copper compound on the surface of the glass article and the melt forms an assembly of droplets having irregular sizes, the weight ratio of the copper compound coated to vanadium compound coated being 0.3 to 1.5, and then heat-treating the coated article at a temperature of from about 580.degree. C to about 1000.degree. C and for a period of time sufficient to obtain the desired degree of coloration.
