PABLO PICASSO | Nature morte au couvert et à la pomme

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

This work is in very good condition. The ceramic is sound. There is some hairline crazing to the glazing throughout. A small scratch is present toward the center of the bottom edge, approximately 1/4 inch in length. There is a pindot loss to the pigment toward the bottom right of the ceramic. There is some minor dirt and rubbing to the edges and the reverse, as commensurate with age.
