Selon l'Encyclopédie Universalis, le terme « cailloutage » est un précurseur de « faïence fine », laquelle est décrite comme une pâte constituée d'argile et de galets calcaires. Quant à « terre à pipe », on attribue cet usage aux potiers de la région parisienne durant la première moitié du 19e siècle. 7, record 1, French, - fa%C3%AFence%20fine

Wedgwood : Potier anglais. Burslem 1730 - Etruria (comté de Stafford) 1795. Après un solide apprentissage de sculpteur, il se spécialisa dans l'art de la céramique et de la porcelaine dont la vogue devait se répandre en Angleterre et en Europe tout au long de la seconde moitié du XVIIIe s. C'est en 1769 qu'il fonda sa manufacture au nom révélateur, «Etruria», autour de laquelle naquit une agglomération. La diffusion des porcelaines de Wedgwood fait de lui l'un des principaux représentants du goût qui caractérisa cette époque. 2, record 2, French, - c%C3%A9ramique%20Wedgwood
