À l'origine, récipient de terre servant aussi bien à refroidir le lait qu'à cuire ragoûts et fricassées. Cet ustensile populaire devient raffiné au XVIIIe siècle lorsqu'il est en faïence de Marseille ou en porcelaine de Saxe. [...] [Les terrines] sont alors ovales et assez basses, posées sur un large présentoir, avec quatre petits pieds; les poignées et la décoration du couvercle sont souvent consacrées à la chasse : hures de sanglier, scènes d’hallali. Leur usage semble assez imprécis : la terrine est autant un plat de service pour viandes et légumes qu'une coupe à fruits [...] 1, record 15, French, - terrine
