Jennifer Falter's Ginkgo vase is made using the graffito technique.
Working with the technique known as sgraffito, the ceramics artist Jennifer Falter, who in 1998 founded a studio in Springfield, Mo., with her husband, Nathan Falter, scrapes away the liquid clay coatings of her pieces to expose the solid layer below. "I settled on just working in black-and-white because that made the strongest contrast," she said. Her $425 Ginkgo vase is 10 inches high and 8 inches in diameter.

Here’s what experts say you need to know.

How to Fight Your Health Insurance Denial with an External Appeal

When a health insurer refuses to pay for your treatment, you may have the right to have the denial reviewed — and potentially overturned — by an independent provider. Here are six steps experts sugges...

There is absolutely zero chance that a man who took $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from an FBI agent on camera would have been appointed to any position by any other president.

SCOTUS has announced it will review a Hawaii law that forbids gun owners from bringing firearms on private property without the property owner’s explicit permission.

If it falls, the court could make it harder for states and cities to keep guns out of everyday life. trib.al/lrF0Sqm

The Supreme Court Could Make It Easier to Bring a Gun Everywhere

The justices just took up a challenge to a Hawaii law that bars people from carrying guns on private property against the owner’s wishes.
