Here is a striking Italian ceramic vase attributed to Aldo Londi for Bitossi, executed in the 1960s. The form is simple and architectural—a gently shouldered cylinder rising to a narrow mouth—serving as a canvas for a bold, hand-incised harlequin motif.The surface is divided into elongated diamond panels, each filled with richly varied glazes in warm tones of burnt orange, ochre, deep brown and white, set against a textured, earthy ground. The incised lines create a rhythmic geometric structure, while the subtle irregularities in the glaze and surface lend the piece a distinctly handcrafted character typical of Bitossi’s mid-century production.This example reflects Londi’s broader exploration of surface decoration and color, where traditional ceramic techniques are reinterpreted through a modernist lens. The interplay between matte and glossy glazes, along with the tactile, slightly volcanic surface, gives the vase a sculptural presence.A compelling decorative object, equally suited for display as a standalone piece or as part of a curated grouping of Italian ceramics.Condition: Very good condition. No chips, cracks, or repairs. There may be minor, age-appropriate surface wear, but nothing readily detectable; the piece presents beautifully.
