I would think that technology of ceramics is advanced enough now that
enironmental damage is less concern than with gold. 
I would also venture to say that creating such ceramics tables needs
much more physical world resources than creating wikipages.
However is seems possible that companies doing ceramics technology
would venture to offer some unnoticeable fraction of their production
resources for the wast marketing possibilities of being the one
to archive Wikipedia forever.

It would be useful to estimate the quantity of information needed
to make live easier after a catastrophy. If it is low enough (I guess
it is), we might consider to conserve this set as tables readily useable
for print. This way it could reach a much wider population than if
it would be written in microfilm size.
