[QUOTE="moreotherstuff, post: 4164910, member: 56"]This was my first thought, but I figured I'd better be sure of the definition before posting, so I looked it up online and brocage didn't work. Bocage, on the other hand, is a screen of trees or foliage and is applied to this use in ceramics. So I searched online, and both spellings returned examples, which is why I used both in my response. But now I've gone and looked at some of my auction catalogs, and both Christie's and Sotheby's say "bocage", no letter r. If I was listing and had the space, I'd probably use both.[/QUOTE]
