The plaster mould between the ceiling and the wall is commonly referred to as a "crown moulding" or "cornice moulding." Crown moulding is a decorative trim that adds a finishing touch to a room by creating a smooth transition between the ceiling and the wall. It is typically installed at an angle and can vary in size and design to complement different architectural styles.
Before the invention of dry wall (some call it plaster board or gypsum board), walls and ceilings were slathered with plaster of Paris over lathe board (small, thin slats of wood that were nailed to the studs). This was smoothed out or in the case of some ceilings, sculpted into decorative shapes. Sometimes, crown molding was even sculpted directly on the walls with plaster. So, a plastered cieling is just that--a ceiling that has been plastered. It is a work intensive craft, and requires a high degree of skill and training to do.
A picture painted on a wall or ceiling before the plaster is dry is called a "fresco." This technique involves applying water-based pigments onto freshly laid wet plaster, allowing the paint to bond with the wall as it dries. Frescoes are known for their durability and vibrant colors, as they become an integral part of the wall surface.
