Abstract
Gold in the form of leaf or powder has long been used for the decoration of ceramic ware. The development of liquid golds in the early 1830’s, however, made it possible for craftsmen to carry out such decoration more simply and economically. This technological breakthrough led not only to the widespread use of gold on ceramic and glass, but also, in more recent years, to sophisticated applications in areas such as the aerospace and electronics industries.
