Zoomorphic Terrine of Roe Deer in Barbotine – Michel Caugant (Circa 1970)

Attention to lovers of curiosity cabinets and tables with old-world charm! This iconic true faience terrine features a majestic deer lying on its bed of grass. Entirely modelled and hand-painted, it showcases remarkable texture work on the fur and deep tawny, caramel, and forest hues. Originally created in the 1970s for the famous Breton house Michel Caugant, this piece of popular art pottery has left kitchens to become a true star of vintage decoration. Its delightfully retro and slightly quirky look fits wonderfully into today's interiors. One can imagine it proudly displayed on a raw wood shelf in the living room, repurposed as a sculptural catch-all in an entrance, or at the centre of a beautiful kinfolk/chic country-inspired festive table. Signature: Stamped on the base with the authenticity text of Michel Caugant. In perfect general condition. The glaze retains all its original brilliance. No chips, cracks, or missing parts to report (including on the tips of the antlers and ears, areas that are usually very fragile). An authentic, poetic, and characterful collector's piece, ready to join its new home. Careful and ultra-protected shipping. Length: 26 cm Maximum height: 22 cm Width: 15 cm Weight: 1.25 kg.
