PABLO PICASSO EARTHENWARE PLATTER, 1957

PABLO PICASSO (SPAIN, 1881-1973), EARTHENWARE PLATTER, 1957, H 12.5", L 15 3/8", LA DANSE 18.57 on verso. Madoura edition. Property of the Arthur Schwartz Estate, Southfield, MI.
Condition Report: Remarkable condition for a piece of this age. No evidence of repair or damage evident under UV light. There are a couple of unidentified 1/16" "dots" in the paint that were likely resulted from the firing process - they could not be considered damage. Minor discoloration on backside of "upper" rim likely caused by dust after decades of undisturbed display. 1" surface scratch at the upper left rim (see additional photo).
