Includes works about collecting the specific objects and/or for works on the history of these objects if they are not covered in other sections (such as ART). Place works discussing the techniques used to make the objects listed in this category elsewhere (such as CRAFTS & HOBBIES).

I think a neat way to get at this category is to list all the categories the Antiques Roadshow uses at its PBS website:
Antiquities
Arms & Militaria
Asian arts -- (Should be under art?)
Books & Manuscripts
Clocks & Watches
Collectibles
Decorative Arts
Dolls
Folk Art
Furniture
Glass
Jewelry
Metalwork & sculpture -- (Under art?)
Musical instruments -- (under music)
Paintings & drawings -- (under art)
Photographs
Pottery & Porcelain
Prints & Posters
Rugs & textiles
Science & technology
Silver
Sports memorabilia
Tools & Implements
Toys & games
Tribal arts
Other categories I can think of:
Appraising, buying & selling
Coin & stamp collecting
Heirlooms
Using "ephemera" to put paper types together (prints, postcards, posters, timetables, tickets, sports cards, waybills, et al)

3: I can't be sure, but I'm pretty sure that "Silver" is more for silver spoons, forks, platters, and other such food-eating tools. I think that "Metalwork & sculptures" isn't trying to deny that sculpture can be in other materials but rather to group metal that is formed to look like something with sculptures.

I had also thought about "Dining Ware" but serving ware sounds better. Dining ware includes glasses and plates. I think silverware is what was meant by silver. My mother called all serving/eating utensils silverware regardless of metallic component.

Does "Silver" aka "Silverware" also include "Hollow-ware" - i.e. bowls, tureens, platters, trays, etc. which often are made to match the flatware pattern?
"Serving ware" seems to me to exclude the knives/forks/spoons that you eat with, not serve with.
I'm fairly sure that Antiques Roadshow makes Silver a separate category from Metal just because there's so much of it submitted for evaluation.

I'm pretty sure that Ceramics/China would be considered a separate category by most library users and collectors. AR calls it Pottery & Porcelain.
BTW, was this list from the US or UK version of Antiques Roadshow?
*goes back to look at it again*
Guessing US, from the spelling of "jewelry"; might be interesting to see the UK version.
