Ceramics
The word édition is used throughout this document to mean, it seems, a release of works, or maybe an exhibition, or maybe just a display. The works are ceramic vases and plates. I can find no translation of édition for the visual arts, only publishing, music and TV, where the translation would be "edition." Is there a ceramics-specific translation for édition? Here are a couple of examples:
Nous avons pu compléter l'historique de l'implication de la galerie dans le parasitage constant ** l'édition *** de céramiques.
C'est en effet à partir du mois de mai 2001 que M X est intervenu au nom de l'artiste pour éliminer *** l'édition*** et a engagé une action en justice.

edition
About 50 years ago, when Picasso began creating ceramics in collaboration with the Madoura Pottery workshop, he intended the pieces to be accessible and affordable. As such, he created some works in editions of 500 or more, and made them available for purchase directly from the workshop. Today, Picasso's ceramic works are still readily accessible, available at auction, in art galleries, and in the private market.

: Agree "edition" is standard term among prints, cast sculpture, etc. Don't see any reason not to assume that this is what is meant. http://www.getty.edu/vow/AATFullDisplay?find=edition&logic=A...

Thanks Daryo. As you noted, there is something not quite right about the sentence, which makes it hard to be sure what it is about.
