Provenance
A private collection.
With a vibrant glaze, the present work by Ladi Kwali displays a white slip that has turned yellow in places, presumably during firing. On close inspection, blue flecks can also be seen in the work, suggesting that this is an Abuja Jun glaze, a glaze that was widely used by the potter in her more blue works. The unusual variation in colour in this present work distinguishes it as a remarkable piece to have been generated by the potter.
