From the very beginning, the production stood out for its attention to detail, the study of form, and a refined interpretation of classical styles.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the 1950s, under the artistic direction of Aldo Londi (1911-2003), Bitossi inaugurated a new creative season, oriented towards research and innovation. He introduced a modern and experimental language, attentive to changing tastes and the uniqueness of each product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePainter, sculptor, and above all ceramist, Londi lived a life devoted to art, balancing technical expertise, creative sensitivity, and a natural inclination for research.

It’s a fantastical round dance of geometric elements, highlighted by quick touches of colour set beneath the vibrant blue glaze, which the crystalline layer makes luminous like marine reflections.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduced continuously since 1959, the collection reflects the stylistic and production research that led Londi to constantly experiment with new materials, techniques, and colours.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003e\u003cem\u003eYou can read more about Bitossi Ceramiche and their history, \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.bitossiceramiche.it\/en\/company\" style=\"color: rgb(128, 128, 128);\"\u003ehere\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eTHIS LISTING\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePattern\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e Rimini\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColour\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e White\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eModel\u003c\/strong\u003e Vase\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner\u003c\/strong\u003e Aldo Londi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProduction\u003c\/strong\u003e 1970s\/80s\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cspan\u003e 30cm (12\") tall, 13cm diameter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition\u003c\/strong\u003e Excellent condition with no wear that we can see. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bitossi","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48456564932775,"sku":null,"price":695.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0405\/5839\/5559\/files\/temp_68741f62-94ee-4e93-9a2c-36ed2739a3c8.jpg?v=1776390093","url":"https:\/\/thatretropiece.com\/products\/bitossi-italy-rimini-in-white-12-vase-rare-find","provider":"That Retro Piece","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
