The Picasso ceramic numbered A.R. 488, titled “Oiseau no. 96” (“Bird No. 96”), is a white earthenware ceramic plate conceived and executed in 1963 at the famed Madoura pottery studio in Vallauris, France. This piece exemplifies Picasso’s enduring fascination with birds, a motif he explored throughout his artistic career in painting, drawing, sculpture, and ceramics.
Measuring approximately 10 inches (25.4 cm) in diameter, the plate displays a stylized bird design created through the application of coloured engobe and glaze on a white ceramic surface. The composition balances simplicity with expressive line work, capturing the elegant form of the bird with minimal yet dynamic shapes and contrasting tones. The bird appears animated, almost as if in motion, demonstrating Picasso’s ability to infuse life and personality into humble subjects.
"Oiseau no. 96" was produced in a limited edition of 150, with each plate numbered and stamped on the underside with ‘Edition Picasso’ and ‘Madoura’, confirming its authenticity and craftsmanship.
This ceramic plate reflects Picasso’s unique ability to merge artistic invention with functional form, making a decorative object that is both visually compelling and emblematic of his creative legacy in twentieth‑century ceramics.
