- bowls (vessels) - Rounded vessels which are generally wider than they are high and which often have a spreading base or foot ring and sometimes two handles or a cover.
- ceramic (material) - Refers to any of various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at a high temperature.
- ceramic process - Refers to a variant of the dusting-on process in which pigment is a vitrifiable powder, available in a wide range of colors, that is fired onto porcelain, earthenware, china, or the like; more broadly refers to any process to form an image on porcelain, china, earthenware, or similar material.
- ceramics (objects) - Refers in general to articles made of ceramic, which is any of various hard, brittle, heat-resistant and corrosion-resistant materials made by shaping and then firing a nonmetallic mineral, such as clay, at a high temperature.
- decorative arts - Refers to works that are primarily utilitarian in form or function, but that have aesthetic value provided by the design, decoration, or embellishment. They may include ceramics, furniture, and other household or utilitarian objects. They are distinct from "fine arts," which were traditionally considered to require more extensive training and were restricted to the media of painting, sculpture, drawing, and architecture.
- glaze - Thin, usually glossy surface coating. In paintings, glaze is a thin film of transparent to semitransparent color added to change tonality. In ceramics, glaze is a thin, vitreous, opaque coating fired on the surface of a ceramic body to add color, texture, and water resistance. For textiles and paper, glaze is a highly polished finish obtained by treating the fabric or paper with starch, glue, wax, or synthetic resins, then heat-pressing.
- Rakka
- Raqqa
- sculpture (visual work) - Works of art in which images and forms are produced in relief, in intaglio, or in the round. It refers especially to those objects that retain the quality of being tangible objects or groups of objects. It refers particularly to art works created by carving or engraving a hard material, by molding or casting a malleable material, or by assembling parts to create a three-dimensional object. It is typically used to refer to large or medium-sized objects made of stone, wood, bronze, or another metal. Small objects are typically referred to as "carvings." As works become more diffused in space or time, or less tangible, use specific terms, such as "mail art" or "environmental art."
- Syrian - Refers to the culture roughly of the area occupied today by modern Syria over the span of time from the earliest time of settlement to modern times.
- three-dimensional - Having, or appearing to have, the three dimensions of length, width, and height.
- turquoise (color) - Refers to a range of bluish and greenish colors resembling the turquoise mineral, typically a light to moderate greenish blue.
