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. We are offering a matching bowl in our other listings. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e Height: 5.25 in \/ 13.34 cm\u003cbr\u003eDiameter: 6 in \/ 15.24 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Mid-Century Modern (Of the Period)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterials:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ceramic, Pottery, Terracotta, Glazed, Hand-Crafted\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOrigin:\u003c\/strong\u003e Italy\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDate of Manufacture:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1960s\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Bitossi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56949151039828,"sku":"1D-F42249902","price":1931.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1064\/2790\/8436\/files\/f_42249902_1731232650404_bg_processed.jpg?v=1787941627","url":"https:\/\/supersuite.plus\/products\/aldo-londi-bitossi-striped-mid-century-ceramic-ball-vase-italy-1960s","provider":"supersuite+","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
