<<< For those of us who have no lcue, I looked it up in wikipedia:
Cloche (French language for bell) may refer to the following:
* Bell (instrument), especially in music directions
* A covering for protecting plants from cold temperatures. See row
cover
(US English).
* A close-fitting women's hat with a deep rounded crown and narrow rim,
popularized by flappers
* A restaurant's bell-shaped cover for a plate of food, to retain
warmth
I would gues my large terra cotta planting pot inverted would work
well for
such application in my oven? >>>
Yes, although I'm not sure about the hole in the top.
Plugging "cloche" into the search engine of the Florilegium gets
several hits including this from the utensils-msg file. Other hits
give a variety of comments including details on what other people
have used as cloche substitutes.

Romertopf is a modern clay cooking pot with a clay cover. It is similar
to the cloche, a clay dome placed on a baking stone to serve as a
portable oven. This method of baking has been employed since antiquity.
There is a photograph of an Athenian cloche excavated from the Agora in
Elizabeth David's English Bread and Yeast Cookery.
