AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Splendid and rare large vase designed by Aldo Londi and produced in the 1980s. Rare piece, marked Bitossi.
Born in 1911 in Montelupo Fiorentino, Aldo Londi led a life devoted to art: he was a painter and sculptor, but above all a ceramist. For more than fifty years he collaborated with Bitossi, first as artistic director and then as a collaborator.
Ceramic expertise and artistic sensibility were his prerogatives. Combined with a predisposition for research, they allowed him to undertake courageous explorations and define a new expressive vocabulary.
Dimensions 23.5 x 13 cm
Good condition, minor defect on the neck of the vase.
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.
