The vintage rabbit pâté terrine created for Laurent Caugant, who was a renowned pâté maker from Brittany since 1927, this particular item was made in the 1950s.
Laurent's son, Michel Caugant, introduced figurative shapes as containers for his father's pâté, which contributed to the popularity of their products. These terrines, each depicting different animals, became sought after collectibles among their customers. Crafted by hand and glazed with meticulous attention to detail, these terrines showcased both the culinary excellence of the pâté and the artistic flair of the Caugant family.

The inscription on the bottom of the terrine, translated from French, emphasizes its authenticity and exclusivity. It confirms that the piece is made of real earthenware and underscores Michel Caugant's personal recommendation.
