Round Bottles

These pots are very sought after in Japan. This big shape is quite an accomplishment! No one can do it like Otto! It takes great skill to throw a large pot in one piece and have a good eye for the form. It was Otto's ability to throw and coil-build large works that awarded the Heinos the commission of 751 amphoras, lotus cups and drinking shells for Hollywood's epic, The Egyptian in 1954.
