A soft white wash sits over a grey ground, revealing a richly textured surface with intentional crackling, pitting, and moments of exposed clay where the glaze pulls away. The result is a more organic, studio-driven aesthetic compared to the typical smoother Rimini Blu finishes, representing a less commonly seen surface treatment within Londi’s body of work.

An impressed geometric floral band encircles the form, adding structure and contrast to the otherwise raw, expressive surface. Signed to the underside, affirming its authenticity and maker.

A strong collector piece that bridges Italian modern design with a more Brutalist, textural sensibility.
