About the Item
Striking mid-century modern ceramic tile plaque by Greek artist Danos, dating to the 1960s. Composed of nine hand-glazed tiles mounted on a wood backing, the abstract composition features stylized figures of Don Quixote and Sancho in a surreal landscape, rendered in rich textured glazes and bold graphic lines. The work blends modernist and primitive influences with a whimsical narrative quality. Vivid colors and dimensional surfaces add to its dynamic presence. Signed "Danos" lower right. A compelling example of Greek studio ceramics, perfect as a wall-mounted artwork or decorative panel.

Otto and Vivika Heino Monumental Ceramic Stoneware Pottery Tile Wall Plaque 1988
By Otto and Vivika Heino
Located in Studio City, CA
A wonderfully designed and exceptionally rare hand painted, earthenware three tile/panel plaque/ wall hanging by ceramics masters husband and wife artists Vivika and Otto Heino. Quite heavy and substantial in size. The couple was best known for their inspired designs and distinctive glazes.
This massive 3 tile plaque, which shows clear signs of Asian influence, is attached to a board for hanging. Again exceptionally rare in both scale and design. We have never seen another like this by the couple.
The work is signed and dated (1988).
Would be the crown jewel in any Heino collection and sure to stand out in any setting, modern or otherwise. Very unique. Very rare.
Dimensions: 47.5" high, 18" wide, 1.5" deep.
The piece is quite substantial and weighs 44 pounds.
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).
