Ceramic Vase in Rimini Blu Style, Bitossi (Aldo Londi), 1970s

Dimensions: height 45.5 cm, diameter 31 cm.

The surface is richly textured and visually lively, articulated all around by rhythmic bands: fine incised lines and raised circular motifs that catch the light and give the colour extra depth. The wide, slightly flared rim gives the form both strength and elegance, allowing the vase to work beautifully either as a statement piece on its own or with a single branch, dried flowers, or a restrained ikebana-like arrangement.

A mark is visible on the underside, though it is not clearly legible. Condition: perfect.
