Mado JOLAIN Anthropomorphic Stoneware Vase
By Mado Jolain
Located in Saint-Amans-des-Cots, FR
Stunning anthropomorphic ceramic vase by Mado JOLAIN, France, 1950s. Stoneware vase very close to Picasso's production, in terms of colors and design. Height : 9.1"(23.2cm), Diameter : 5"(12.6cm). Signed "m.j" under the base (see photos).
