Lussan Spotted Quail – Green Spotted Duck Green

The Lussan spotted quail has the same hand-decorated spotting as the workshop’s guinea fowl, in a slightly smaller bird that sits easily on a shelf or a smaller table. In this Green Spotted Duck Green colourway the glaze is a pale green, densely spotted in a deeper duck green.

Les Céramiques de Lussan is a family pottery beside the village of Lussan, near Uzès in the Gard. Heidi Caillard trained in Basel and later at the Lausanne School of Ceramics. She opened a small workshop in the nearby village of Blauzac in 1968, and in 1974 she and her husband Daniel moved the studio and shop into a restored mas at Lussan, at the foot of one of France’s most beautiful villages. Their son Adrien took on the workshop in 1994, keeping every hand process that shapes the object itself, while organising the work so the birds could reach professional buyers and, in time, the Maison et Objet fair in Paris. Alongside the Pintade, the workshop makes this spotted quail — formed and decorated by the same hand processes.

Each bird is formed from red clay in the Lussan workshops, then glazed and decorated by hand, so the spotting varies a little from piece to piece. The workshop’s own photographs are a guide, not a promise of an identical pattern. Choose Small or Large, or group the two together.
