Picasso's Zoo

Ceramic Vase

Created by Jean Elton
Our rendition of a zoo, Picasso style!

The top of this TV sports a distinctive folding of its top edge and a gentle slope. The surface treatment of this piece is an example of the so-called 'Underwater' series after the hand-painted color and shapes evocative of a lively oceanic coral reef. The interior has a matte finish, while the exterior's finish is glossy.

The work is fired first to approximately 1800 degrees F, after which any remaining fine alterations can be made with reduced risk of loss due to breakage. A second firing to about 2100 degrees F brings the process to completion. While most do not use Jean Elton work to hold flowers for display, this work (as all Jean Elton pieces) does hold water.

A certificate of authenticity provided with the sale of each Jean Elton work displays that work's unique serial number found on its underside. Both the work and its certificate are signed by Jean Elton.
