Pablo Picasso

Grey engraved pitcher (Pichet gravé gris)

A turned white earthenware pitcher brought to life through Picasso's masterful hand, adorned with bold black, white, and grey paintwork that showcases his signature dynamic energy. Intricate knife engravings cut through the surface, revealing the raw clay beneath and adding a striking tactile dimension to the vessel's form. The partial brushed glaze creates an interplay of matte and luminous surfaces, blurring the boundary between functional craft and fine art.
