- Carafe - A carafe is a type of container, typically made of glass, that is used for holding and serving liquids such as water, wine, or juice. Carafes typically have a narrow neck and a wide base and are designed to be poured from easily. They often have a handle for easy pouring and carrying. Some carafes have a stopper or lid to keep the liquid fresh and prevent spills.
- "fat Lava" Glaze - The term "fat lava" glaze was coined by collectors to describe the style of glaze that was popularized in the mid-20th century, particularly in West Germany, which often features a thick layer of glaze that bubbles and flows during firing, creating a unique texture. The glaze often features bold, bright colors and a highly tactile surface and is typically applied to a rough or textured surface, which enhances its visual and tactile appeal.
