Visage dans étoile (Face in a Star)

A striking white earthenware rectangular dish by Pablo Picasso, adorned with a boldly stylized face rendered in vivid colours and set within the form of a star. Characteristic of Picasso's ceramic work, the piece merges his iconic Cubist sensibility with the tactile warmth of decorative pottery, featuring expressive, fragmented facial features that command attention. The brushed glaze technique adds a dynamic, fluid quality to the surface, blurring the boundaries between fine art and functional craft.
