OBS

ménagère : Ce sens du terme, donné dans la définition tirée du Dict. encycl. Quillet de 1968 qui précède, ne se retrouve plus dans les dictionnaires généraux plus récents comme le Grand Larousse ou le Grand Robert. Le Trésor de la langue française le définit comme suit : «Service de couverts présenté dans un écrin», ce qui en fait l'équivalent du terme anglais «cutlery box».
