Created in 1955, this turned pitcher was produced at the Madoura Pottery Workshop located in Southern France.  It is both marked and stamped on the underside of the base, indicating the ‘Edition Picasso’ & ‘Madoura Plein Feu’ from which this piece derives.  It is numbered 84/100.   Echoing the curvy silhouette of a woman, this refined pitcher has been decorated by hand to reflect that of a figural study of the female form.  The curve of the spout molds to the contours of her face while it gently slopes inward to form the nape of her neck.  It continues further bellowing to an elegant pear-shaped design, with intricate engobe detailing around the base and the handle as well.  The inner rim of the glazed spout is subtly accented by a striking emerald green color, giving the Woman an added sense of depth and charm.  This is truly one of Picasso’s more classic pieces and would make a fine addition to any collection.
