- Attributed - A cataloguing term where the item in the opinion of the cataloguers, is a of the period of the artist, craftsman or designer, and which probably in whole or part is the work of that person.
- Trivets - Originally a trivet was a three-legged stand placed in front of fire on which to put pots and utensils, in use from the seventeenth century. They were usually made of wrought iron, and later of brass. However, the use of the word has been extended to describe any type of stand to place a hot object on, such as a teapot, iron or jug to prevent the heat from the object reaching the surface underneath. They may be made from ceramic, silver, wood or brass.
