I'd suggest researching the Madoura Pottery Factory , gerspee !

Pablo Picasso made several thousand(s) of objects there , in between 1947 - through 1971 (including tile & .... believe it or not .... ashtrays , to name a couple) .

I have seen a couple of Mr. Ps' ceramic tiles , which were signed on the back , as in the image below .
Can't say I've seen one from him like yours , but am by no means the ultimate authority on all the objects made there by him !

Thanks and already looked a lot at Picasso's creations but not much luck to find anything similar . It's a shame there's no name or whatever on the back off it .

sometimes names on the back or front of things...are of no help.....as you have found out....
