- 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.
- Hard Paste Porcelain - Hard paste porcelain is true porcelain made of china stone and kaolin. The formula has been known by the Chinese since 800BC, but was kept secret until the early 1700s when a chemist at the Meissen factory discovered it, and the formula has since become known throughout the west.
