Description
Michel Caugant Set of two terrines ‘Le tourteau’ terrine Made of polychrome earthenware. Features a stylised, relief-carved crab design. Second half of the 20th century W 20 cm – D 15.5 cm ‘Le homard’ terrine Made of polychrome earthenware. Features a stylised, relief-carved lobster design. Second half of the 20th century W 34.5 cm - H. 16.5 cm In the 1960s, having taken over the family charcuterie business in Brittany, Michel Caugant came up with the idea of marketing his pâtés in hand-painted earthenware terrines shaped like animals. Enhancing the product with a high-quality container was his strategy for standing out from the competition: the duck, the hare, the roe deer, the goose, the rabbit, the ostrich, the sole, the cockerel, the partridge… A cheerful menagerie was born!
