ABOUT PRODUCTID 5703
This large ceramic vase, designed by Aldo Londi for Bitossi, was crafted in Italy during the 1960s and embodies the essence of mid-century modern design. The vase features a gently tapered cylindrical silhouette with a pronounced shoulder and a short, straight neck. Its surface showcases two distinct finishes: matte, earthy brown on the neck and base, and a central band glazed in a glossy, rich mustard yellow. Across the yellow section runs a repeating, relief pattern of small cross motifs arranged in horizontal rows, subtly contrasting with the raw, textured brown areas. Measuring 26 cm in height and 23 cm at its widest point, the vase presents substantial proportions balanced by its harmonious form. It is preserved in very good vintage condition, with no visible damage or signs of wear. The form of this piece echoes the spirit of 1960s Italian modernism, when geometric clarity and tactile ceramic surfaces met bold, expressive colors. The recurring cross pattern is more than mere ornamentation—it is a testament to the artisanal skill and individual approach that defined Bitossi under Aldo Londi's direction. The warm yellow glaze seems to capture and reflect Mediterranean light, as if the vase itself recalls sunlit afternoons and the textured courtyards of Tuscany. Such a vase makes a striking focal point on a low sideboard, console, or dining table. It can be paired with other ceramics from the era—especially pieces from the Rimini Blu or Verde series—or combined with modern, minimalist decor in neutral tones to highlight its chromatic strength. It would thrive in mid-century modern interiors, eclectic collections, or vintage-inspired spaces, resonating with both natural light and deeper, atmospheric settings.
