Pablo Picasso (Spanish/Paris, 1881-1973), "The Flute Player (A.R. 126)", 1951, embossed and glazed earthenware, edition of 40, base inscribed "Edition Picasso" and stamped "Empreinte Originale de Picasso" and "Madoura Plein Feu", dia. 9-5/8".

There is a minute 1/3" hairline crack to the underside of the plate rim (fingernail barely catches when rubbed over it). Some small scattered losses to glaze are present on the embossed flute player in the well. Light crazing to glaze is scattered throughout, and there are four small stick-on felt pads on the underside of the plate. In overall good condition, consistent with age and use.
