- This deleted text, while unreferenced, looks quite sensible to me. Is there a copyright violation or something?--Wetman (talk) 06:11, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
No, Faience is not "more correctly defined as Egyptian faience." This article needs an opening statement of what Egyptian faience actually is, and an explanation of how the term faience has been extended to cover it. Without such a head, the article is running about like a chicken at the poultry shop. The former statement was
- "Egyptian faience is an extension of the term faience. Faience describes Islamic and European tin-glazed earthenware, and has been extended to describe the ceramic faience of pre-Dynastic (cf. the Badarian and Naqada periods) and Pharaonic Egypt, Crete and sites in the Indus Valley civilization."
That seemsed sensible, did it not? --Wetman (talk) 21:17, 23 February 2008 (UTC)
