warped
I am not sure this is it, because warped bricks are not really a good quality, although that seems to fit the rest of the description of the bricks (http://www.wienerberger.be/servlet/Satellite?pagename=Wiener...
I couldn't find any reference on Sindy's shrunken bricks so I found this.
Warpage: (...) This irregular loss of moisture causes differential shrinkage that leads to warping of the bricks.

shrunken bricks
De stenen zijn wat gekrompen. Hoe hoger ze gebakken worden hoe meer de klei krimpt.
