Pablo Picasso (Spanish, 1881-1973). "Tete au Masque" (Head with Mask) ceramic plate, 1956 - Reference: A. Ramie 362. Ed: 200. Inscribed "F 200" and 120/200 in black as well as marked with "MADOURA PLEIN FEU" and "EMPREINTE ORIGINALE DE PICASSO" stamps on underside. A beautiful white earthenware round plate painted in white enamel with black and cream brushed glaze that features Picasso's bold, expressive facial imagery. Among the rare limited edition ceramics Picasso created with the Madoura pottery workshop in Vallauris in the South of France! Size: 12.2" L x 12.3" W (31 cm x 31.2 cm)
Pablo Picasso collaborated with the Madoura pottery studio to create ceramic works for almost 25 years. Georges and Suzanne Ramie founded the Madoura Pottery studio in Vallauris, France. The Ramies are probably best known for their wonderful collaborations with Picasso which resulted in an impressive oeuvre of Picasso ceramics. The Madoura pottery studio (Madoura being an acronym for MAison + DOUly (Suzanne’s maiden name) + Ramie) opened in an abandoned factory building on April 29th, 1938. Picasso first discovered the Madoura workshop in 1946 and from then on maintained a 24-year collaboration, creating works inspired by his sketches.
