CHAP. LXXIV. The Way of making a Peach-Colour in Glass.
TO make this Colour, which is a very agreeable one, take Glass prepared, and tinged of a Milk White, whereof we have spoken in the prece∣dent Chapters; and when it is in good fusion, put in some Manganese of Piedmont, prepared as in Chap. 18, and that little by little, stirring the Matter well at each time, till the Colour become as fine and per∣fect as you desire it; but you must work the Glass in time, otherwise the Colour will be lost; and you will have a very fair Peach Colour.
