A rare two-piece smoking set from Bitossi’s iconic Rimini Blu line, designed by Aldo Londi in 1960s Italy. A fitted ashtray nests on top of a matching vase to form a sculptural, double-tiered silhouette. Separated, each piece works on its own: the vase for stems or branches, the ashtray as a catchall for keys, rings, or matches.
Both pieces are wheel-thrown terracotta finished in Londi’s signature banded cobalt and turquoise glaze, with the pitted, textured surface Rimini Blu is known for. A hand-applied green scroll band in overpaint wraps each shoulder, adding a graphic contrast to the deep blues.
The bases are hand-signed “8128 A / Italy” and “8128 B,” marking them as an original matched pair. A standout for collectors of Italian mid-century ceramics and a bold pop of color for a shelf, console, or bar cart.
