Pablo Picasso (1881-1973). "Chouette Aux Taches" (A.R. 120) ceramic vase, 1951. Ed. 300. Marked with handwritten "EDITION PICASSO" as well as "EDITION PICASSO" and "MADOURA PLEIN FEU" stamps on underside. An exquisite Picasso "Chouette Aux Taches" (Spotted Owl) ceramic vase consistent with Alain Ramie's catalogue raisonne no. 120 - conceived in 1951 and executed in an edition of 300. The beautiful owl vessel, made of white earthenware clay with colored engobe and glaze, features the handwritten "EDITION PICASSO" marking and the "MADOURA PLEIN FEU" and "EDITION PICASSO" stamps on raised pieces of clay attached to the underside of the foot. Size: 11.375" H (28.9 cm)
Picasso was immensely fond of owls. Known for their wisdom and reliable vigilance, feathery owls appeared in virtually every medium Picasso touched. What's more, the artist loved to surround himself with his nocturnal friends; he even adopted an injured owlet that he kept as a pet in his studio!
Pablo Picasso collaborated with the Madoura pottery studio to create the design for the Chouette (owl) vases as well as other ceramic works. 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.

#170433This vessel features the handwritten "Edition Picasso" marking, the "Edition Picasso" and the "Madoura Plein Feu" stamps on the raised pieces of clay attached to the underside of the foot. Technically and artistically impressive, the Chouette vase was constructed in four joined parts - the head, the body, the tail, and the foot. When viewing the interior of the vase, once can see a two inch unglazed section between the head and body. A few minor nicks to peripheries of tail, foot, and high-pointed areas. Normal craquelure to pigmented areas. Otherwise superb and stunning!Condition
