Lot 97. Magdalene Odundo, Vase, 1982, glazed ceramic, signed Odundo, 24.1 H cm. (9 1/2 in.). Estimate 2,500 — 3,500 GBP. Lot sold 11,875 GBP. Photo: Sotheby's.

Provenance: Rosenthal Studio-Haus, Hamburg
Private Collection, 1982
Acquired from the above by the present owner

Exhibited: Hamburg and London, Rosenthal Studio Haus, Solo Exhibition, 1982-1983

Note: This lot was exhibited very soon after Odundo's Royal College of Art Show.  An early production with a subdued form, this work demonstrates the core form from which her later works derive.  A lovely early example, the piece is signed to the base with a simple signature.  Odundo confirmed these early works were undated to the underside as is characteristic with her later works.
