Picasso made three pieces in the workshop which he left to dry and bake. A year later, he returned to see how the pieces had developed. Picasso was delighted by the quality and continued to work with the Madoura team for several years, producing a number of ceramics ranging from vases, sculptures, plaques, and even a complete dinner service.
