'Rimini Blu' cylindrical vase by Aldo Londi for Bitossi
A stunning and beautifully preserved medium sized ceramic 'Rimini Blu' vase by master Italian ceramicist Aldo Londi (1911-2003) for Bitossi, Italy.
This vase is a truly exceptional piece of art, made by hand by talented craftspeople. It has the signature rich, glossy 'Rimini Blu' blue-green glaze with specks of course clay grit, said to be inspired by the Adriatic sea, and a pattern of abstract geometric imprints, which Londi created using small tools he collected in his pocket from his everyday life.
The 'Rimini Blu' series is highly collectable and remains popular today, so much so that Bitossi began reissuing certain Londi designs in 2001. The vintage Londi pieces, however, in contrast to the reissues, were made by hand rather than using moulds, and so have greater character and a genuinely handmade feel. As always, vintage trumps.
This spectacular piece stands 23 cm tall and measures 10.5 cm in diameter across the base. It is in excellent vintage condition, with some minor chips to the glaze here and there that are noticeable only upon close inspection. It bears the number '43130/92' and 'Italy' on the base.
