- 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.
- Osier / Ozier Pattern - When used to decorate porcelain, the osier / ozier pattern is a decorative technique that creates a woven or basket-like pattern on the surface of the ceramic. The pattern is created by using a small, pointed tool to incise lines into the surface of the porcelain, creating the appearance of woven strands. It adds a subtle yet interesting texture to the surface of the piece. The pattern can be applied in a variety of ways, such as in a random or structured arrangement, and can be combined with other decorative techniques, such as hand-painted designs or gold leaf accents.
