Russian term or phrase: атташ (часть сосуда)
Вопрос к узким специалистам - что такое атташ и как это сказать на англ?
определения не нашла, но поняла из картинок, что это часть сосуда (металл, керамика и пр.), выступающая и как-бы наложенная (отсюда, наверное, и название)
иногда один атташ, иногда два кажется. Буду благодарна за помощь!

English translation:applique
Explanation:
In its broadest sense, an applique or appliqué is a smaller ornament or device applied to another surface. In the context of ceramics, for example, an appliqué is a separate piece of clay added to the primary work, generally for the purpose of decoration.

well, I first found the Russian site by googling атташ and сосуд together and from the picture and descriptions I knew the equivalent in English and finding the wiki site was easy :-) So, no special talent just odd tidbits of information resurfacing in my brain at the right moment :-)

vessel attachment


Explanation:
I think this term is used by archeologists for pottery. It doesn't mean the handles, although I believe "attachments" may sometimes serve simultaneously as feet or handles or knobs on top of lids.

Lion Head vessel attachment

... and numerous other examples, if you search for "vessel attachment" in combination with "pottery" or "archeology".

Follow-up to asker's note: It seems that "vessel applique" is _also_ used in English writing. As far as Google goes, "vessel attachment" is more frequently used, but that's not necessarily authoritative. I don't know if there's a distinction, or if one is more generic than the other. Here, for example, is a source which talks about a vessel applique, then uses "vessel attachment" as an interchangeable term.
