of
them I just delete. Some I have learned from. But I am finding it a bit
overwhelming. Any ideas?

From 1750 to 1855,here in America, a handled bowl called a porringer =
=3D
was
mentioned in many historical potters' accounts. Prior to 1820 these were
made wide and shallow; afterwards, deeper with a rim rolling outwards. =3D
Most
folks know the big version as a chowder bowl, but I have seen them made =3D
in
many sizes. Webster's Dict describes a cup a Middle and Old English from =
=3D
the
Latin Cuppa. Cupa in latin means tub. Bowl has no Latin origin,it is =3D
derived
from Middle english, bolle and Old English, bolla. Porringer is french =3D
in
origin and is defined as a soup dish.
At times this shallow bowl would have attached a horizontal handle, =3D
like
a tab, and this would then become a bleeding cup.
Yet, small bowls were also used in this time as "drinking dishes"
for tea. Such as "having a dish of tea". Several paintings and prints =3D
show
such usage.
(Don't confuse this with the custom of drinking tea out of a
saucer-another subject.
In Chinese pottery, the bowl or wan is found in many sizes or =3D
shapes.
The rice bowl is kung wan. A shallower bowl is t'ang wan and is used for
soup. The tea bowl, ch'a wan is covered. When the teapot was introduced
after teh Ming dynasty, you then have the need for the tea cup or ch'a =3D
pei.
Cup is not of Chinese origin. The French Jesuits brought these items to
Europe, but what did they call them? Porringer?
A bowl is cuvette and cup is tasse. Not common use words in America or
England. Mug is chope in French. I don't recall the use of Mug in early
American pottery listings. Mug is Scandavanian, originally decorated =3D
with a
human face. ("What an ugly Mug" now has two meanings!).
Now, how do the Romans, the French Jesuits on the Yellow River in =3D
China
and the English influence language and the use or disuse of a particular
name and when? There is your answer.
Gotta go---

Lou,
Sign up with Gmail for your email lists. It is great:
you see the title and the first line of the email. Then, you
only have to read the topics you are interested in. You can even
tag groups and put them in their own folder. It has made my lists
easier to manage.

And make sure you make a filter in your email program to put the
Clayart posts in one folder away from your other mail. The filter
should say emails TO Clayart@LSV.CERAMICS.ORG. Counterintuitive, but
true....
This way you can get select and delete the whole bunch when things get
out of hand.

I simply do what you are currently doing - have my finger hover over the
delete key and reading only those posts of interest to me.
Your alternative is to go to the ACERS web site:
http://www.acers.org/cic/clayart/
Then click on "subscription" and change subscription type from regular to
digest - you will get one email that you can open and review the postings o=
f
the day.

A beer helps .. LOL !
Seriously , if you are getting the digest version, here's something
I found out that makes scrolling through posts a lot easier:
(assuming your email program allows you to do this.. I use
an ancient version of Eudora... yeah, yeah, I know... but I like it )
I can go to EDIT > FIND>
FIND TEXT ...
I then put SUBJECT in the search box...
Then I click FIND NEXT ...and the mouse pointer will
automatically drop down to the word"SUBJECT" in the digest....
and since the header of each email has the word
" subject" in it, everytime I click " find next" , it drops
down to the beginning of the next email..
However , now I just get the individual emails and its easy
to delete what you dont want to read or mark what you want to save
to read later ..
