Pablo Picasso

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

The ceramic is sound. There is fine hairline crazing to the white ground in the glaze. There are several areas of unglazed surface to the top, inside and outside of the handle. These appear to be original and part of the overall work. These unglazed areas have accumulated surface dirt and build up. There is further additional surface dirt to the glazed surface, which will benefit from a light clean. Notwithstanding the above, the work is in very good condition.
