AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Splendid and rare vase from the Rimini Blu series, designed by Aldo Londi in 1959 and still produced today. A rare specimen from the seventies.

Born in 1911 in Montelupo Fiorentino, Aldo Londi led a life dedicated to art: he was a painter and sculptor, but above all a ceramist. For over fifty years, he collaborated with Bitossi, initially as an artistic director and later as a collaborator.

Ceramic expertise and artistic sensitivity have been her prerogatives. Combined with her predisposition for research, they allowed her to undertake courageous explorations and define a new expressive lexicon.

The iconic Rimini Blu series, produced continuously since 1959, is distinguished by its surface texture. The decoration, composed of marks that create a fantastic circle of abstract-geometric elements fixed beneath the blue or white, recalls the play of light on the surface of the sea.

Measurements 10.5 x 12.5 cm

At the base, a rare sticker with the model number.

Perfect conditions.
