WE have already taken notice in our former Chapter, that Silver agrees not with all sorts of Enamel, as Gold. We repeat it here again to pre∣vent the use of any but such as serve to produce per∣fect and agreeable Effects.
You are to make least use of White Enamel on Silver, because there it becomes Yellowish, and un∣pleasing,
but nothing can suit better with it, than bright Purple, Green, Blue, and Egmarine, be∣cause the Whiteness of the Silver is then clearly emi∣nent, and gives its just splendour.
The Work and manner of Enameling on Silver, is no way different from that of Gold, in forging the Plates evenly to prepare 'em for the Enamel, you may make use of White on the under side, since the Enamel there serves only to qualifie the Risings and Disturbings of the Metal in the Furnace, which would cause unevenness, or disagreements in the surface, and prevent its becoming just and handsome.
We need not repeat again that way of placing the Enamel on your Plates of Gold or Silver, and so to put them into your little reverberatory Furnace spo∣ken of in Chap. 181. to melt, and as soon as polished to be taken from the Fire.
