[ad] American Hot Cast Porcelain Co. organized

A NEW MATERIAL.

HOT-CAST PORCELAIN

AN ENTIRELY NEW ARTICLE OF

MANUFACTURE.

AN AMERICAN INVENTION.

PATENTED BOTH IN THIS COUNTRY AND IN EUROPE.

It contains all the constituent ingredients of Porcelain, but, unlike ordinary porcelain, is worked like glass, and is capable of being formed into any shape into which glass can be blown, pressed, moulded, or drawn. In strength and durability it surpasses the strongest marbles; in hardness it equals quartz, of which it is largely composed; in its applications it ranges from the finest bugle for ladles dress trimmings to the colossal church column; from the thinnest egg shell China cup to the heavy slab of the sideboard on which it is placed. It takes the most brilliant and enduring polish, and will not stain, as it will not absorb any liquid whatever. Can be made in any color. Capable of being decorated in gold and colors. Resists the attacks of heat, cold, acids, and other destructive agencies, as fully as Glass or Porcelain. Applicable to all purposes for which Porcelain and Glass are generally used, and to many purposes for which marble is used. Materials not expensive — cost of working small — demand unlimited.

IT IS ADAPTED FOR PURPOSES

ALMOST INNUMERABLE.

HOUSEHOLD USE.

Elegant and durable cups, saucers, mugs, pitchers, plates and dishes for the table — as beautiful as French China — as strong as stoneware; vases of every size, for use or ornament; bottles, large or small, plain or figured, for medicinal, toilet, or other uses; milk-white or tinted chimneys, globes and shades for the gas-light or oil lamps; knobs, escutcheons and plates for the doors; slabs for table and bureau tops; strong and tasteful flower pots and flower-baskets.

WINDOW PANES

to admit the light, but exclude the glare — cheaper, better, and susceptible of more elegant decoration than ground glass. Dust will not gather on it, as both sides are polished.

PHOTOGRAPHIC PLATES

of superior finish and strength; time not erasing the surface, or affecting the color.

TILES FOR TIIE FLOOR

more durable, and more bountiful than the encaustic tiles hitherto in use — and so cheap us to be within everybody’s reach.

ARCHITECTURAL

Inside Work — wash-boards and wainscoting, mantels, wash-stands, bath-room fittings, brackets, columns, mouldings, and everything usually made of marble or plaster. Outside Work — columns, dressings and ashlar for fronts of buildings, from pavement to cor­nice; balustrades. stops, sills, door frames; and, in fact, almost everything that can be made in marble, stone, or iron. Absolutely weather-proof. Absorbs no liquid, acid, soot, or other impurity.

TOMBSTONES

Stainless, and indestructible by time.

HOT CAST PORCELAIN

differs from Porcelain heretofore in use, being made from materials in a state of fusion (as glass is made), instead of being moulded cold, baked and subse­quently enamelled. It is made with great rapidity, and is, upon being annealed, immediately fit for the market. The cost of the materials is not more than of flint glass. The cost and manner of working are the same,
