Between 1947 and 1971 Picasso and the Madoura studio produced 633 different plates, bowls, vases and pitchers, in limited editions ranging from 25 to 500. Picassos involvement in producing the objects varied. Sometimes he made the clay molds used for the designs , while other times he painted on plates or pitchers taken from the drying racks. Picasso and Madouras artisans then finished the prototypes and produced the editions.
