- Bocage - The name given to floral and leaf decoration usually surrounding the main subject in ceramic figures and groups, commonly on 18th century porcelain from the Derby, Bow and Minton works.
- 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.
