ANNEALING, or as it is popularly called Nealing. See NEALING. One fine use of Silver, says Mr. Boyle, was only discovered since the Art of Annealing upon Glass came to be practiced. For prepared Silver, or even the crude Metal, being burnt on a Glass Plate, will tinge it of a fine yellow, or golden Color. And there are several mineral Earths, and other coarse Matters, of use in this Art, which by means of Fire impart transparent Colors to Glass, and sometimes very different ones from those of the Bodies themselves. See PAINTING ON GLASS.
