The authenticity of this work has been confirmed by Claude Picasso.
Condition
There are a few minor scratches to the glaze towards the upper edge of the blue area. There are some air bubbles along the left side of the rim (visible in the catalogue illustration) and some irregularities in the glaze, both inherent to the artist's process. Apart from some very light craquelure in areas, inherent to the firing process, and some light surface dirt, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the tones are softer in the original.
