To secure its hygienic safety by inhibiting the heavy metals from bleeding on the surface of glassware and develop bright patterns with good development of colors by drawing the patterns with heavy metal-containing paints.
A glass base material 1 having a pattern drawn with a paint 4 on its upper surface 2 is placed through a release paper 5 on the setter 6 (a). The paint 4 contains heavy metal and glass thin flakes 7 are placed on the upper surface of the paint 4. The glass base material 1 is gradually heated from the upper face 2 to raise its temperature up to about 800°C and is kept at about 800°C for about 30 minutes. The glass base material 1 begins softening from the upper surface (b), the paint of low softening point and high specific gravity sinks into the inside of the glass base material and is perfectly buried in. The bottom face 3 of the base material 1 is suppressed in its temperature rise not to soften whereby the paint stays in the glass material buried (c). The temperature is lowered, the glass base material is formed by bending to give a patterned glassware 8.
