Regular price $204.00 Save $-204.00
It’s difficult not to fall under the charm of Provence handicrafts. The Guinea Fowl or Pintades as they are known in France, are undeniably part of this category. These life- sized ceramic poultry with their generous stylized lines are made of clay and hand glazed. Each features a graphic, spotted white-blue plumage that contrasts with their little faces. A family tradition initiated by Heidi Caillard 40 years ago has endured and has made the adorable guinea fowl a classic of its kind.
- Made in France.
