AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
A rare specimen from the eighties.
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, stands out for the texture of the surface. The decoration, composed of marks that create a fantastical roundelay of abstract-geometric elements fixed beneath the blue glaze, recalls the play of light on the surface of the sea. After the great interest that the series aroused, the same vase models were produced in other decorations, such as this one, in rare sand color.
Dimensions 15 x 14 cm
In perfect condition.
Seller's Story
My name is Riccardo, I recently graduated in Art History from the University of Florence and I am passionate about porcelain. From tableware to artist vases, from figurines to tea and coffee sets, I am fascinated by the mastery and the ability of great artisans and designers who shape this so fragile material, turning a raw mass into masterpieces with a story to tell. During my years at university I became interested in the history of 19th- and 20th-century tableware art; today, every day, I work with prestigious porcelain pieces that always have something to say to me and to those who purchase them. Of my work I love that I can discover more about the objects I find as I travel around Italy, always learning something new. I always strive to convey to my clients this passion I have for the objects I sell, certain that each one of them has a story to tell: the story of who created it, the story of who preserved it, and the story of who will give it a new life.
