Pablo Picasso began experimenting with ceramics in the early 1900s. But it was after the end of the Second World War that his ceramics production really took off, lasting almost twenty-five years. This turning point was the result of two collaborations: one with the Vallauris studio and the other with the Madoura studio. Spending most of his time in the south of France, Picasso visited the Vallauris studio for the first time in the summer of 1936, accompanied by Paul Éluard. This visit led to his first production. The artist brought ceramics from the studio to his residence, the villa La Californie, which he decorated and sent back to the studio for firing. The years 1947-1948 marked a decisive turning point in his production, as it was during this period that Pablo Picasso met Suzanne and Georges Ramié from the Madoura studio. Georges Ramié welcomed the artist into the studio. Nearly two thousand pieces were produced during this prolific Madoura period, some of which have been exhibited.
