Part of the 'Trifoglio' range designed by Londi which was produced in the 1960s, it presents two glazed central 'blu' bands and rough-textured manganese-brown glazed elsewhere. The 'blu' glazed bands are pierced with holes and a low relief motif of three balls in a shield. The range name means 'clover' and shows how Londi was inspired by the natural world: the simple motif of a clover leaf is reduced to its essential form, leaving a strongly modern design. Ancient pottery is referenced in the earthy, brown glaze. On the base you will find 'V120' and 'Italy'. As with marks on all Italian pottery of the period, there are no hard-and-fast rules for marks used by Bitossi.
