fun fact: 


digital description: 
This bottle was created early in Howard William Kottler's career when he focused on traditional handmade ceramics. Later, Kottler's work would become more conceptual and use mass-produced ceramics. This bottle's misshapen appearance highlights the malleability of clay.
