A bstract The greatest fault of overglaze decalcomania is the lack of resistance to solution and abrasion, which is due chiefly to the fluxes used for adherence to the glazed surfaces and for the development of brilliancy. With our increasing knowledge of silicate eutectics, these properties may be greatly improved. Various color fluxes are tested and several experimental fluxes with improved chemical resistance are reported. The possibilities of overglaze colors and decalcomania that mature at 1500° and 1750 °F. are also discussed, and some data are furnished.
