- Biscuit Porcelain - Biscuit porcelain refers to unglazed, white porcelain that has been fired at a high temperature to harden the material and make it suitable for painting or glazing. The term "biscuit" comes from the French word for "unbaked," referring to the fact that the porcelain has not yet been glazed. The porcelain's firing process is done at very high temperatures and requires good quality of kaolin which is one of the material used to make porcelain.
- Incised - A record of a name, date or inscription, or a decoration scratched into a surface, usually of a glass or ceramic item with a blunt instrument to make a coarse indentation. Compare with engraving where the surface is cut with a sharp instrument such as a metal needle or rotating tool to achieve a fine indentation.
