GLOSSARY ENTRY (DERIVED FROM QUESTION BELOW)

Art/Literary - Art, Arts & Crafts, Painting / Faience ceramics
French term or phrase: le flammé
In a text about "Terres Mêlées" faience. Context: "Le marbre et le flammé sont les deux types de terres mêlées réalisées en atelier et propres à Apt". Is there an English word for "flammé", please? I understand that it is a type of fired ceramic, but it is obviously a specific process used in Apt. Should I leave it in French in inverted commas? Thanks in advance for any help.

Explanation:
Isn't this what they call 'pit-fired' ceramics? I've seen this somewhere before.
