Pottery and ceramics have been an important part of human culture for thousands of years. From prehistoric storage jars to tiles on the space shuttles, pottery and ceramics have played a key role in innumerable human endeavors. But how do we define them? All clay is a ceramic material, but there are other ceramic materials, as well. Glazes are also ceramic materials because they permanently change during firing. Industrial ceramics include a range of materials such as silica carbide and zirconium oxide....

When to Make an Adjustment to the Amount of Pressure If you find that the fabric will slip when the presser foot is down, you need to increase the pressure on the presser foot. If the fabric is held so tightly that the feed dog is unable to move the fabric, decrease the amount of pressure on the presser foot. If one layer of the fabric warps or moves along faster than other layers, adjusting the pressure adjustment will usually help all of the layers feed evenly under the presser foot....

Rozane marks were the earliest used by Roseville, and in most instances, those pieces are dark in coloring and plain in shape. Other marks include the early RV ink stamp and the more common Roseville U.S.A. Collectors and dealers should also be aware of a number of Roseville reproductions on the market. These are usually obvious to those with pottery expertise. Use the following slide show to help you identify Roseville patterns and get an idea about the value of your pieces....

In 1864, Nevada was granted statehood in the United States and named Carson City as its permanent state capital. The V&T railroad connected Carson City to the transcontinental railroad in 1872. By 1874, mining of the Comstock Lode reached its peak, and the railroad provided transportation of goods to and from the city. As other railroads were built to facilitate the westward expansion combined with the decline of the mining of the Comstock Lode, the population of Carson City began to shrink by the late 1800s....

The term scale refers to the size ratio to a normal-sized object. In this case, we’re talking about smaller representations of the human figure. For standardization purposes, toy companies refer to the usual ideal human figure as being 6 feet tall (we’re usually talking about heroic figures such as Batman or Darth Vader, hence the height). Therefore an action figure that is also six feet tall would have a 1:1 ratio....

The dolls produced in this region were some of the very best ever produced in the world. This makes it hard to pick a top five list of German antique doll brands. These firms have names (and dolls) that resonate best and most familiarly with collectors. Also, please note that this list is limited to bisque (commonly called porcelain) dollmaking companies from approximately 1860 to 1930.

Avoirdupois Weight Although most people don’t realize it, the United States is standardized on the avoirdupois (abbreviated: avdp) system for measuring weight. It is used to weigh almost everything in the United States except gemstones, precious metals, and pharmaceutical drugs. The system is based on one pound containing sixteen avoirdupois ounces or 7,200 grains which is equal to 453.59 grams. The avoirdupois ounce contains 437.5 grains (28.3495 grams). The avoirdupois weight system was first used in the thirteenth century and standardized by the international wool trade....

Special Hooks First off, Tunisian crochet supplies are a bit different in that the hooks are longer and typically have a kind of knob called a stopper at the end. These hooks are somewhat similar to knitting needles. The stopper at the end of a Tunisian crochet hook has much the same function as the stopper on a knitting needle—to keep the stitches from falling off. This gives you insight into the major difference between Tunisian crochet and regular crochet stitches: in Tunisian crochet, you hold more than one stitch on the hook at a time....

Thread burners are especially useful for getting the last little bit of thread that may stick out of beads after the end is trimmed with embroidery scissors. They are also useful for burning the thread end next to knots to prevent the knot from loosening or untying. How to Use a Thread Burner Thread burners vary slightly from one manufacturer and model to the next. On most models, you push a button to close a battery powered circuit that heats up the tip of the thread burner....
