About the Item

A wonderfully designed and gorgeously glazed large earthenware bowl by ceramics masters husband and wife artists Vivika and Otto Heino. Quite heavy and solid .The couple were best known for their inspired designs and distinctive glazes. This piece absolutely radiates in the light. This bowl is an early work done while they were both at Chouinard Art Institute, Los Angeles, California from 1955-1962 and thus quite scarce. It features the Heino's trademark clay/earthenware body form and wall formation, foot ring, and glaze technique that perfectly allows the dark clay to peek through the higher surfaces. The bowl is signed/ marked with their original “C” stamp (for Chouinard kiln fired) on the underside. A rare, unique, and special piece. Would be a great addition to any Heino or Mid-Century Modern pottery collection and make for an eye catching stand alone accent piece in about any setting. Dimensions: 3" high, 10" diameter The couple are winners of the following awards: Gold Medal from the sixth Biennale internationale de céramique d'art, in Vallauris, France, (1978). Silver medal from the International Ceramics Exhibitions in Ostend, Belgium, (1959) Their work can be found in the following museums and collections: American Craft Museum, New York City, NY American Museum of Ceramic Art, Pomona, California Ariana Museum, Geneva, Switzerland Arizona State University Art Museum, Tempe, Arizona Baltimore Museum of Art, Baltimore, Maryland Brunnier Art Museum, Iowa State University, Ames Iowa Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution, New York, New York County Art Museum and Craft Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, CA Craft and Folk Art Museum, Los Angeles, California Des Moines Art Center, Des Moines, Iowa De Young Museum, San Francisco, CA Everson Museum of Art, Syracuse, New York Fitchburg Art Museum, Fitchburg, Massachusetts Fred Jones, Jr. Museum of Art, The University of Oklahoma, Norman, Oklahoma Hartford Jewish Community Center, Hartford, Connecticut Joslyn Art Museum, Omaha, Nebraska Long Beach Museum of Art, Long Beach, California Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA), Los Angeles, California Memphis College of Art, Memphis, Tennessee Mills College Art Museum, Oakland, California Mingei Museum, San Diego Museum of Art and Design, New York, New York Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, MA Newark Museum, Newark, New Jersey Nora Eccles Harrison Museum of Art, Utah State University, Logan, Utah Picasso Museum in Vallauris, France St. Paul Gallery, St. Paul, Minnesota Ruth Chandler Williamson Gallery, Scripps College, Claremont, California Smithsonian Institution, Washington, DC Southern Highland Craft Guild, Asheville, North Carolina Tweed Museum of Art, University of Minnesota, Duluth, Duluth, Minnesota University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois Ventura County Museum Yale University Art Gallery, New Haven, Connecticut
