A wonderfully executed and designed earthenware birds head vase (very coveted among collector's of the Heino's work) by ceramics masters husband and wife artists Vivika and Otto Heino. The two were best known for their inspired designs and distinctive glazes. This relatively tall vase is signed on the underside and is in excellent vintage condition with no discernible flaws. Really quite attractive and sure to stand out in any setting. Dimensions: 8" high, 4" diameter
