- Cotton-Reel Turning - As the name implies, cotton-reel turning consists of a series of spherical and straight sections and looks like a row of cotton reels.
- 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.
