- 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.
- Flow Blue - Ceramics decorated in deep cobalt blue and white where the colour change is blurred, giving the effect of blue watercolour applied on top of wet white watercolour. Manufacture using this technique commenced in the Saffordshire area of Britain about 1820 and continued for a 100 years, by potteries such as Wedgwood, Johnson Brothers, Minton, Royal Doulton, and Swansea.
