Aldo Londi's green ceramic ashtrays for Bitossi are highly collectible pieces of mid-century modern (MCM) Italian art pottery. Londi, who served as the longtime art director for Bitossi Ceramiche in Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy, created several famous styles that featured various shades of green glaze, ranging from rich olive and emerald to bright chartreuse.
Notable Styles & Variations
• Rimini Green / Rimini Blu: While the "Rimini Blu" series is famous for its iconic azure blue color, many pieces in this line feature rich turquoise and emerald green undertones blended directly into the glaze. They boast Londi’s signature hand-stamped geometric motifs consisting of lines, dots, and Xs.
• Concentric "Coin" & Mosaic Patterns: Other notable versions include large, shallow round platters decorated with concentric rings and pressed "coin" shapes or mosaic textures under a mottled green lava effect glaze.
