tile clay Explanation: "terre"in the arts is clay, "terre cuite" is terra cotta; "estampé à la main" could just be hand made? OK, here`s the missing context for "patiné à la chaux"; now I think it`s a lime glaze. |

roof tile clay OR [red] terra cotta clay Explanation: "Roof tile terra cotta" doesn't seem to be used as such. "Roof tile clay" exists, but doesn't have much appeal (given your context). I'd use "red terra cotta clay". estampé à la main = hand-stamped (pottery technique on wet clay) See: Each piece is wheel thrown then hand stamped into the leather hard clay, kiln fired, then hand painted, glazed and refired to 2300°F. ... . Individuals can purchase an Angel of Hospice ornament, each hand made with fine clay and hand stamped and numbered. Internet |

terracotta Explanation: I don't think it's necessary to specify that the terracotta is used for tiles, unless you would want to emphasize it's strength. estampé à la main means that it has been formed in a mould and not on a disk |
