A beautiful spherical striped terracotta vase, handcrafted from ceramic by the Italian manufacturer Bitossi Ceramiche in the 1960s. The vase features seven horizontal bands, shiny glazed in yellow, orange, red, brown and black with the colors thoughtfully coordinated to achieve a harmonious aesthetic. It is signed “8512 Italy” on the underside and is in very good condition. Bitossi Ceramiche was founded in 1921 by Guido Bitossi in Montelupo Fiorentino, an Italian region rich in ceramic tradition. A pivotal moment in the company’s history came in 1946 with the appointment of Aldo Londi as artistic director. Londi brought a fresh creative vision and introduced the iconic "Rimini Blu" series, known for its vibrant blue hues and intricately handcrafted patterns that became a hallmark of Bitossi. Over the years, Bitossi collaborated with renowned designers like Ettore Sottsass, expanding its range to include modern collections that blend Italian craftsmanship with innovative design. Still family-owned, Bitossi remains a symbol of exclusive, handcrafted Italian ceramics. This piece is attributed to the mentioned designer/maker. It has no attribution mark and no
official proof of authenticity,
however it is well documented in design history. I take full responsibility for any authenticity
issues arising from misattribution less
