Estate of the artist
Marina Picasso (the artist’s granddaughter; acquired from the above)

The ceramic is sound. There are some hairline firing cracks around the raised centre and to the centre point of the underside which are stable and inherent to the artistic process. Some minor craquelure in the clear top glaze in places and some light scuffing on the underside. This work is in overall very good condition.
