Beautiful and rare Aldo Londi set by Bitossi Italy, consisting of a large vase and large ashtray/catchall container. Made in the 1960’s this piece embodies an emerging trend towards bright colors and ‘flower power’. It is a piece that represents its time in a joyful and well-executed way. The vase and ashtray are in excellent condition with no damage. Some light crazing to the glaze and manufacturer’s inconsistencies due to the handmade nature of the pieces.
Both the ashtray and vase are glazed in goldenrod yellow with accents of lime, tangerine, forest green and black. This set is a great addition to any Mid-century Italian pottery collection.
Vase Dimensions:
10-1/2" H x 9" Diameter
Ashtray/Catchall (low bowl) Dimensions:
10" Diameter, 2-1/4"H
ALDO LONDI (1911-2003) was one of Italy's most noted master ceramicists who spent most of his long and successful career creating exceptional works of great art and craft for the Italian ceramics manufactory Bitossi Ceramiche.
Londi’s hometown just outside of Florence, Montelupo Fiorentino, has been an important center for pottery production since the Renaissance. In 1922, at the age of eleven, Londi started working for Fratelli Fanciullacci, the region’s premier ceramics workshop at the time. Following World War II—upon returning to Italy from South Africa, where he was a prisoner of war—Londi became Bitossi’s Creative Director. He would hold this position for more than 50 years and would design over 1,000 objects—ranging from jugs and vases to clocks and animal figurines. less
