This piece features richly textured horizontal bands in tones of plum, gold, and ivory, overlaid with metallic gilding that gives the surface a woven, fabric-like effect—hence the name Seta (“silk” in Italian). The elongated ovoid form is accented by a sweeping gilt handle and a deeply colored interior glaze in royal blue, providing bold contrast.

Marked to the base “Italy,” this piece exemplifies Londi’s masterful combination of vibrant color, texture, and refined form that has made Bitossi ceramics highly collectible worldwide.

Origin: Italy, mid-20th century. See less
