A striking example of Aldo Londi’s masterful work, this large ceramic vase embodies the timeless influence of Neolithic utility pottery, reinterpreted through Bitossi’s signature craftsmanship.

Featuring the iconic sgraffito hand decor, inspired by Etruscan ceramics, this piece is part of the Sahara line, distinguished by its earthy, textured aesthetic. Unlike the standard Bitossi Sahara collection, which utilizes beige, brown, and orange stripes, this exclusive Ceramiche Paoli edition introduces grass green accents, adding a rare variation to the design.

The vase features an elegant shape with generous volume, emphasizing its sculptural presence. The Sahara glaze, rich in warm, natural tones, enhances the hand-carved geometric motifs, evoking an ancient yet modern aesthetic. A true statement piece for collectors and enthusiasts of Italian Mid-Century ceramics.
