German term
Anschliffe

as opposed to Dünnschliffe (thin sections).
My source text states that "vertikale Bruchkante der Keramikfragmente angeschlissen und poliert [wurden]" before being examined under a reflected light microscope. (Later on, Dünnschliffe were made and examined under a polarisation microscope.)
Is this as simple as "ground sections"? This isn't my usual specialism, so I'm not as confident about the terminology! Thanks in advance.

Under Ceramics/Polished sections: "These differ from ordinary thin sections in that the upper surface of the specimen is not covered with a cover slip, but is polished. Care must be taken to prevent the specimen breaking. Sections may be examined using both transmitted and reflected light microscopy, which is particularly useful if some constituents are opaque."

Note from asker:
| I like Stephen's mugwumping--I think it's important for the sake of accuracy to get both terms in. Thanks for your input! |

sanding
Grinding / cutting removes the silicone adhesives but it also removes some of vessel's material which effect the broken pieces fit requiring more fill, more sanding, more painting, thus, higher cost

She sands the vessels between firings to give the porcelain a paper-like, tactile quality.
