The amateur pottery & glass painter: With directions for gilding, chasing, burnishing, bronzing and ground-laying

In the following pages it is the wish of the writer to give an accurate and satisfactory account of the means to be employed to become proficient in the arts of pottery and glass painting. It is hoped that the work will prove of interest alike to the art-student, the professional artist or teacher, and to the general public ; for while the student is initiated into the " mysteries of the craft," the teacher may be glad to place in the hands of his pupils trustworthy information for reference in the intervals of his lessons, and the public generally have lately manifested a growing interest in the subject, especially since it has be- come widely known by means of many exhibitions of amateurs' paintings which have been held in London and elsewhere — encouraged in some instances by the patronage of royalty itself.
