This special collection was created by Picasso between 1947 and 1963 at the Madoura pottery workshop, located in the coastal town of Vallauris in southeastern France. This also marked the period when Picasso was passionate about exploring ceramic materials, an unexpected direction for the great artist, after his brilliant achievements in painting and sculpture.

The works being auctioned this time were created by Picasso, decorated with images that often appear in his painting world , such as doves, boats or fish.

This is a truly special collection. The plates, bowls and trays here are all authentic Picasso works.

Picasso began creating his extensive ceramics collection in 1947 in the Madura pottery studio in France. The owners, Suzanne and George Remy, invited the artist to work in their studio. At that time, the city had become a center for artistic ceramics.

A year earlier, in 1946, Picasso had visited a ceramics exhibition in Vallauris and was so inspired by the local craftsmanship that he began working with the material. Ceramics became an important form of artistic expression for him after World War II.
