Provenance
Acquired directly from the artist by the present owner in September 1976, when they were both working at the Commonwealth Institute in London.
The current vessel was made by Odundo in her final year at West Surrey College of Art & Design (now the University for the Creative Arts, Farnham), and is an important transitional work as it marked the beginning of Odundo's desire to make individual work as opposed to production pottery.
