Rare fine earthenware advertising pâté terrine for the Roubaix-based company Paret-Piémont, specializing in "poultry and game pâtés". Its rectangular shape and side handles molded into animal heads make it a particularly decorative piece; the short telephone number "Tél. 374 - Roubaix" likely places this advertisement in the first quarter of the 20th century. The underside bears the embossed stamp "Sarreguemines France".
