This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.

This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?

Just post some stuff and don't spam.

but calling it two pieces connected by a handle is the only way I could think of to describe it and actually be understood

Yes completely fair! I'm actually not sure about what would count as a separate "piece" with glassware and ceramics. There's probably a mereological argument for why its one or the other

Never heard that word before. Wikipedia: "Mereology is the philosophical study of part-whole relationships." Fascinating that there's a name for that!
