Provenance:

Porcelain bottle, made by potter, Otto Heino (1915-2009). Heino, along with his wife Vivika who was also a potter, lived in Hopkinton, N.H. It was David Campbell, director of the League of New Hampshire Arts and Crafts (now League of New Hampshire Craftsmen), who recruited the Heino's in the 1940s to live in Hopkinton (Campbell also lived in Hopkinton) and become teachers at the League.
Heino visited the Hopkinton Historical Society in 2008, in conjunction with an exhibit about Hopkinton artist's colonies. Heino gave a talk during that exhibit, and donated this bottle (and several other pieces) after the talk.
