Bitossi by Aldo Londi 1960s Rimini Blu Series,
This beautiful, handcrafted work of Mid Century Modernist stoneware was designed by Aldo Londi (b. 1911 – d. 2003) for Bitossi Ceramiche. Inspiration for the glaze is said to be taken from the Adriatic sea, off the coast of Rimini in Italy and hence the series name Rimini Blu.
The glaze and the series, which subsequently grew from it has become iconic and the most highly collectable of Aldo Londis’ work. The form of this particular piece has been crafted with superb sentience and character, the bull’s captured stance is one of mid-feint and with curiosity.
The geometric ‘Sgraffito’ decor is very tactile, with shapes and lines being embossed into the clay during the crafting process. The glaze displays strokes of green, Persiano and deep blue, the great blend of glossy smooth glaze is interspersed with coarse grit in the clay.
