Ceramic Guinea Hens
"La Pintade"
Heidi Caillard, a potter in Provence, developed a deep fondness for these creatures. Fascinated by their almost abstract shapes, she began to create them in clay. Heidi would sit in the garden with her son and pain the Guineas, bringing them to life with her artists's eye. Today the Caillard Guineas are quite famous, Heidi's son Adrien, now a well known potter , continues to create these fanciful birds.

There is a quote in French on the bottom of each bird which translates as:
Having been fascinated for more than thirty years by the originality and the
elegance of the guinea hens that run free in my garden,
it finally came to me that by immortalizing them in a harmonious and
timeless object I c
ould convey my love for the guineas to others. - Heidi C.
