Ceramic photographed 1972 by Quinn for the book: Ramié, Georges. "Céramique de Pablo Picasso", Cercle d'art, Paris 1974.

This whimsical, anthropomorphic ceramic vase by Pablo Picasso was photographed by Edward Quinn in 1972 for Georges Ramié's book, "Céramique de Pablo Picasso". The vessel's globular, muted gray body is dominated by a stylized face with round eyes and a reddish-brown mouth. It stands on a pedestal base shaped to resemble two stout legs, while striped, horn-like handles protrude from the shoulders. A larger, C-shaped handle connects the shoulder to the flared rim, which is also decorated with abstract patterns.
