Featured Picasso Owl Vase

I'm trying to discover if this Picasso owl is the real thing for a friend who is downsizing after recently being diagnosed with early dementia. She bought it around 1970 at the Picasso studio in Madoura. Thank you. I know it isn't the ideal background but I had to take these photos at her house.

It certainly looks genuine and with her buying it directly from them I cant see why it wouldnt be. They go for crazy amounts so I hope you can confirm it.

 

With the provenance, it seems like it us genuine. Contacting an auction house with expertise in Picasso ceramics would be a way to confirm authenticity.

 

I’d sure buy it as authentic in a nanosecond and agree that virtually every auction house will take it which doesn’t mean one has to give it.

 

Thank you all so much. Roaring 20s, I will read the articles you suggested.

 

Agree. With that provenance surely must be the real deal. Maybe proceeds can help a bit with your friend's care. As Johnny mentioned, these sell for huge money. What a shame your friend is going through that, and nice of you to help.

She (or someone) should contact a reputable auction house.

 

Holy Freee Holy !!!!!

gotta get me some o' dat !!!

 

So many times over the years of woulda, coulda and didn’t. The last one I was offered was within the last 10 years for $3500. Shoulda!
