8d Possibly

damascene, damasceene, damaskeen, damaskin or damasquin

if any of those variant spellings fit.
19a I can't even find "rilling" in google.
Rilling

Grooves and ridges found particularly on the inside of wheel-thrown vessels, created by irregularities in the clay catching on the potter�s hands as the walls of the vessel are drawn up and expanded during manufacture. They tend to be more pronounced in closed vessels, as the shape of the pot prevents the potter from reaching inside to smooth them out or remove them. They can be an indicator of the direction in which the wheel was turning during manufacture: the vessel should be held and turned in a horizontal plane; if the rilling grooves are spiral from top right to bottom left, the wheel was rotating in a counterclockwise direction.

As for "pleated rilling" - I'll keep looking!

19 a - Another guess, comb?
