Laurent’s son Michel created these figural forms as containers for selling his fathers pâté in their luxury food shop. They rose in popularity as their patrons sought to collect all of the different animal terrines that were made. Each form contained the pâté made from the animal represented.

The two-piece goose terrine is made and painted by hand, the lid lifts off to show a shallow serving bowl. The white glazed goose has an orange beak and realistic eyes. Charming detail to the mould. Caugant offered a few different goose pâté servers, all uniquely glazed by hand. This is one of the larger Goose pieces they produced, lovely on the table or on the kitchen shelf.

The base is printed with the following: Cette piece en faience veritable, a été entirement realisée a la main. Je nous la propose en exclusivité. – Michel Caugant

Translation: This piece is true faience and was made entirely by hand. I want to recommend it exclusively.  - Michel Caugant

Measures approximately 19cm height, 21cm length, 11cm width (7.5" x 8.5" x 4.5")

Very condition. Mentioned for accuracy there is a tiny 1mm nibble to the rim of the lid, see last photo.

I have listed another Michel Caugant terrine in the shape of a Duck.
