A striking early ceramic ashtray designed by Aldo Londi for Bitossi and handcrafted in Italy during the 1950s. Finished in a rich ocean blue glaze over a sculptural volcanic brown and white relief, this substantial piece showcases the textured surfaces and refined craftsmanship that made Londi one of Italy’s most influential ceramic designers.
The layered glazes create exceptional depth and visual interest, with the luminous blue contrasting beautifully against the exposed volcanic clay. Produced during Aldo Londi’s formative years at Bitossi, this signed example reflects the artistic experimentation and exceptional quality that established the Florentine workshop as a leader in postwar Italian ceramics.
An outstanding addition for collectors of early Bitossi, Italian pottery, and mid century modern design.
