Glenn who did a catalogue on Lichtenstein's "CERAMIC SCULPTURES" in 1970 felt a guestimate might be about only 5,000; done by the artist in association with photographer Burt Stern and who printed it in 1969; this collaborative was done at the studio called "On First Studios" (meant First Avenue downtown, N.Y.C.); but the collaboration was dissolved after a small run was produced; there were 10 plates in each package and how many survived is unknown; one of the screen prints is in the MOMA's permanent collection; REFERENCE: III. 45, The Prints of Roy Lichtenstein: A Catalogue Raisonne, 1948-1997, 2002, Corlett & Fine, New York, p. 314.; just a little againg, otherwise the plate is in VERY GOOD COND.
