Picasso ceramics

On a visit to Vallauris in the summer of 1946, Picasso met Georges and Suzanne Ramié, the owners of the Madoura pottery studio. This was the start of a friendship and creative partnership with the Ramie's that would last for the remainder of Picasso’s life. The Ramiés introduced him to various techniques, and together with the artist's distinctive style, they were able to produce editions of the objects Picasso created. 

Picasso ceramics and pottery were created in a multitude of forms such as plates, pitchers, plaques, and vases. His imagery highlighted mythological and classical motifs and often included portraits, bullfighting, nature, and landscapes. Picasso ceramics and pottery were created between 1946-1948, with a few exceptions. In recent years, interest from collectors in his playful ceramics has grown significantly.
