Default The Naming Of Parts- Will You Take It In Trade ?
I'm now going to do some hurried research to see if I can legitimately include a Cleveland Steamer in this thread.

Should work for other's too, like some Swiss or Dutch cheese (Emmental, Edam etc.).

Damask- from Damascus, a type of rose which comes in summer and autumn varieties.

The summer variety, rosa damascena, is said to be a cross between rosa gallica and rosa phoenicea.

Attar of roses (used extensively in perfume, rose water, et cetera) was produced from Damask roses.

Viola: But let concealment, like a worm i' the bud, Feed on her damask cheek. Shakespeare, 'Twelfth Night', Act II

arras- a wall hanging, curtain or tapestry, named after Arras. Also a curtain on stages and in theatres.

Notably featured in 'Hamlet', where Polonius is stabbed through his arras...

'Hamlet' , Act III Scene IV:

Hamlet: Come, come, and sit you down. You shall not budge.
You go not till I set you up a glass
Where you may see the inmost part of you.

Queen: What wilt thou do? Thou wilt not murder me?
Help, help, ho!

Polonius: [behind arras.] What, ho! help, help, help!

Hamlet: [drawing sword.] How now! A rat? Dead, for a ducat, dead! Kills POLONIUS [through the arras].

Polonius: [behind.] O, I am slain!

Queen. O me, what hast thou done?

Hamlet: Nay, I know not.
Is it the King?

Queen: O, what a rash and bloody deed is this!

Hamlet: A bloody deed! Almost as bad, good mother,
As kill a king, and marry with his brother.

Queen: As kill a king!

Hamlet Ay, lady, ’twas my word. [Lifts up the arras and discovers POLONIUS.]

Thou wretched, rash, intruding fool, farewell!

Venetian glass
You could make it more specific than that even:

Murano glass, or Murano ware:

The glass objects made in the kilns on the island of Murano by master glass blowers are an old tradition. Their are made using techniques that have been handed down over the centuries.
The many glassworks in Venice and Murano offer any type of objects, for all tastes and wallets; there are Venini lamps and ashtrays, vases and small colored animals. with regards to jewelry, one popular souvenir is la murrina: a slim round pendant in colored glass with spiral or flower patterns that is hung on a gold or silver chain around your neck.
