Bitossi - Aldo Londi - Vase - Rimini Blu-series - Earthenware

Rare Italian design vase – Bitossi “Rimini Blu” – Aldo Londi – Triangular Prism Sculptural model – 1960s

Beautiful and characterful Italian design vase from the iconic Rimini Blu series, designed by Aldo Londi for Bitossi Ceramiche in Montelupo Fiorentino, Tuscany.

This distinctive vase is crafted in a rare triangular prism shape, giving the piece a pronounced sculptural and architectural character. In combination with the deep blue glaze and the refined Sgraffito / Simboli / Trifoglio pattern, this is a true eye-catcher in any interior.

The object is part of the famous Rimini Blu line, worldwide loved for its intense color, handcrafted finish, and timeless appearance.

Design & Decor

The vase features richly stamped geometric patterns with diamond-, cross-, and teardrop motifs. The surface is finished with multiple layers of glaze, creating a lively play of blue, turquoise, and sea tones.

Characteristics of Aldo Londi's handwriting are:
• Deep cobalt blue Rimini Blu glaze
• Subtle color nuances
• Manually applied relief
Light iridescent finish

Every vase from this series is unique due to the artisanal production process. The absence of a mark is not uncommon on older Rimini Blu pieces and does not detract from the collectible value, provided the style and technique are correct (as here).
