AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Iconic ceramic vase from the Rimini Blu series by Bitossi, designed by Aldo Londi, 1960s/1970s. Height: 17.5 cm.

The cylindrical stepped form with a slightly indented neck is adorned all around with relief decorative bands. Typical for Rimini Blu are the ornamental integrated heart rows, geometric window and diamond motifs, as well as dotted friezes. The intensely vibrant blue and turquoise glaze with nuanced color transitions and darker accents gives the piece a strong sculptural effect.

The combination of artisanal structure and distinctive glaze makes this vase a classic representative of Italian mid-century design. A sought-after collectible with high recognizability.

The vase has no cracks. At the bottom edge there are retouched areas. Minor age-related chips present.

The item is wrapped in padding foil and enclosed in Bio-Styrofoam inside a double-walled carton and shipped by DHL.
