The gold(III) chloride can also be dissolved in water in electroless plating wherein the gold is slowly reduced out of solution onto the surface to be gilded. When this technique is used on the second surface of glass and backed with silver, it is known as " Angel gilding ".

The room houses a collection of silver-gilt or vermeil tableware, a 1956 bequest to the White House by Margaret Thompson Biddle.
Sodium silicate glass-to-glass bonding has the advantage that it is a low-temperature bonding technique, as opposed to fusion bonding. [21] It also requires less processing than glass-to-glass anodic bonding, [23] which requires an intermediate layer such as silicon nitride (SiN) to act as a diffusion barrier for sodium ions. [23]
But storing water in a fridge helps prolong its freshness, compared to letting it stay at room temperature or near heat, which increases the chances of bacteria growing in your water.
Beaker made using the ‘Zwischengoldglas’ technique, mid 18th century V&A Museum no. 1271-1872.

The reaction with hydrochloric acid is an equilibrium reaction that favors formation of tetrachloroaurate(III) anions. This results in a removal of gold ions from solution and allows further oxidation of gold to take place. The gold dissolves to become chloroauric acid. In addition, gold may be dissolved by the chlorine present in aqua regia.
