- Eggshell Porcelain - Eggshell porcelain, as the name implies is porcelain with a very thin body, often white and translucent. It is most often seen in Chinese and Japanese ceramics, especially Japanese porcelain tea services.
- Circa - A Latin term meaning 'about', often used in the antique trade to give an approximate date for the piece, usually considered to be five years on either side of the circa year. Thus, circa 1900 means the piece was made about 1900, probably between 1895 and 1905. The expression is sometimes abbreviated to c.1900.
