Bitossi, Rosenthal Netter - Aldo Londi - Vase - Ceramic

Splendid and rare vase designed by Aldo Londi in 1959. A rare 1970s specimen, green in color, produced for the Rosenthal Netter import brand.

Born in 1911 in Montelupo Fiorentino, Aldo Londi lived a life dedicated to art: he was a painter and sculptor, but above all a potter. For more than fifty years he collaborated with Bitossi, first as artistic director and then as collaborator.

Ceramic expertise and artistic sensibility were his hallmarks. Combined with a proclivity for research, they allowed him to undertake bold explorations and define a new expressive lexicon.

Dimensions 21x8.5x7.5 cm

Excellent condition, some glaze flaws typical of Bitossi’s artisanal production.

Rosenthal Netter is a name that refers to a company, not a person. Rosenthal Netter was an American company for importing and distributing decorative art objects and home accessories, founded in 1950 by Irving Netter and his wife Florence. The company specialized in importing ceramics, glass, and other high-quality decorative objects from Italy and elsewhere in Europe.

Rosenthal Netter was known for its mid-century modern design and for collaborations with renowned artists and designers of the era, including Aldo Londi, Bitossi, and Raymor. The company’s products were sold in luxury department stores and specialty shops across the United States.

Rosenthal Netter ceased operations in the late 1970s, but its products remain highly sought after by mid-century modern design collectors.
