Abstract: In order to avoid haloing when burning in a decoration on a glass ceramic substrate, the invention provides a method for producing a decorated glass ceramic substrate, in which a glass substrate is produced or provided, a layer containing silicon oxide is deposited on the substrate, decorative ink is applied on the layer containing silicon oxide and the decorative ink is burned in, wherein the layer containing silicon oxide is flame-pyrolytically deposited by sweeping over at least one region of the surface of a substrate with a flame and hydrolyzing a silicon compound added to the flame.

Abstract: A long life, halogen cycle, incandescent lamp (30) for operation in excess of 85 volts. The lamp comprises a transparent glass envelope (34) having sealed therewithin a tungsten filament (45); a pair of electrical lead-ins (42, 44) connecting the filament and extending exteriorly of the envelope for connection to a supply voltage greater than 100 V; and a fill gas within the envelope, including a halogen, at a pressure of at least three atmospheres. The envelope is constructed of a five component alkaline earth aluminosilicate glass having a composition consisting essentially of, in weight percent from >58 to about 64% SiO2, from about 14 to about 17% Al2O3; from 0 to about 1% B2O3, from 1 to about 6% MgO, from about 6 to about 12% CaO, from about 7 to about 17% BaO and from 0 to about 1.5% ZrO2.

C. This glass composition contains Li.sub.2 O, 0 to 5% by weight; Na.sub.2 O, 0 to 5% by weight; K.sub.2 O, less than 2% by weight; MgO, 0 to 3% by weight; CaO, 0 to 4% by weight; SrO, 0 to 4% by weight; BaO, 0 to 4% by weight; ZnO, 0 to 4% by weight; B.sub.2 O.sub.3, 15 to 27% by weight; Al.sub.2 O.sub.3, 10 to 20% by weight; SiO.sub.2, 43 to 58% by weight; TiO.sub.2, 0 to 3% by weight and ZrO.sub.2, 0 to 4% by weight, Sb.sub.2 O.sub.3, 0 to 2% by weight; F, 0 to 3% by weight in exchange for oxygen and up to 30% by weight of at least one inorganic pigment resistant to a burning-in temperature on the glass or the glass-ceramics. The sum total amount of Li.sub.2 O, Na.
