Bitossi - Aldo Londi - Bowl (2) - Ceramic - Iridescent

Pot size: 6x12 cm
Bowl size: 15x3.5 cm

...this Aldo Londi for Bitossi set takes us into the magical and iridescent darkness of a starry night.

Alchemia of Metal and Fire.

Here we enter the realm of the "Lustro" line, where ceramic ceases to look like ceramic and becomes precious metal, almost molten. The surface is a miracle of alchemy: a metallic finish that oscillates between dark bronze, antique gold and oil blue. Every reflection is a luminous ripple, as if the matter itself were still liquid, ready to change under the observer’s gaze.

Sacred and Functional Forms.

The set consists of two elements with distinct but complementary personalities:

The Ancient Chalice: the small amphora, with its footed base and flared mouth, recalls ritual vases of ancient civilizations. The walls show the traces of the potter’s wheel and human touch, making the object vibrant and authentic.

The Bowl of Light: the ash-tray platter is a basin of reflections. Its concave surface captures every ray of light, returning golden and iridescent glints that seem born from the heat of a medieval furnace.

The Soul of the Night.

There is something deeply romantic and mysterious about these pieces. They do not seek the applause of bright color, but the discretion of whispered luxury. They are objects that seem to belong to the studio of a Renaissance alchemist or to a Parisian bohemian living room of the 1950s.

It is a set that does not merely occupy space, but creates an atmosphere. Imagine them beside a lit candle: the metallic reflections would dance on the walls in hypnotic fashion.
