AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Exclusive and imposing monumental ceramic vase from the famous “Rimini Blu” series, designed by master ceramist Aldo Londi for the Bitossi Ceramiche manufactory starting in 1959. This particular piece stands out for its extraordinary dimensions, with a height of no less than 35 cm, making it a true gallery piece (rare to find in this extra-large format).
The surface features the typical meticulous manual stamp-impressed incision applied to the fresh clay before firing, creating dense and geometrically captivating patterns. The glaze is characterized by a crystal-clear bright blue with green and turquoise shades, studied to evoke the crystalline reflections and depth of the Mediterranean Sea.
