faïence
La faïence constitue le principal type de céramique produit par X. Il s’agit d’une poterie de terre cuite une première fois, tendre et poreuse, puis revêtue d’une glaçure opacifiée à l’étain et cuite dans un second temps à environ 1000°C. Le décor et l’émail sont cuits ensemble : il s’agit d’une faïence de grand feu. Si la faïence subit un troisième passage au four pour fixer le décor sur l’émail blanc déjà cuit, il s’agit d’une faïence de petit feu.

high-fired / low-fired faience
Faience originated in Faenza (Italy) c. 1590.
It is a soft, porous pottery covered with white enamel obtained by the presence of tin or lead oxide in the glaze to give an opaque finish. There are two sorts of faience: high-fired and low-fired.

keep it in French ...
... since the first ref. below says it applies particularly to products Made in France.
'Grand feu', simply meaning 'HIGH TEMPERATURE FIRING', is a term especially applied to tin-glazed earthenwares (or 'faïence') made in France. It was used in contrast to an alternative method of decoration, known as 'PETIT FEU'.
'GRAND FEU' DECORATION relied on a limited range of colours that could be painted onto the raw glaze and fired together. Often boldly painted, the result could be both highly decorative and very economical. 'Petit feu' decoration had an expensive extra enamel firing, which could only be justified when faience was attempting to rival porcelain.
As tough porcelain and imported printed English earthenwares became readily available in France towards the end of the 18th century, faience declined until only reproductions and souvenirs continued to be made.
French artist potters of the late 19th century also used the term to describe stonewares or porcelains with brilliant but unpredictable red flambé glazes based on oriental prototypes. These pioneers were the first true studio potters.

: Apart from the first one, most of your sources refer to porcelain and not faïences specifically. This is a little confusing.
