Peter: The dictionary is correct. HOWEVER: There are few
actual pipes known to made from kaolin and they are mostly VERY
early. Anyone who make their pipes from kaolin would also feed the
neighborhood dogs jumbo shrimp and filet mignon. For cheap utiitarian
wares such as clay tobacco pipes, plain white ball clay was used. So
much so in fact, that it began to be called pipe clay during the
period of mass manufactue of English clay tobacco pipes.

I guess I'm going to have to throw away my stupid old Doubleday Dictionary
of Geological terms, which says: "kaolin: A soft white nonplastic clay,
composed principally of kaolinite ..."
