An exceptional large-scale vintage Italian ceramic ashtray designed by Aldo Londi for Bitossi, circa 1960s.
Handcrafted and hand-glazed in Italy, this striking example features a vibrant turquoise ground accented by deep cobalt blue and earthy brown tones. An intricate, radiating sunburst motif fills the interior, with individually articulated geometric petals creating a captivating interplay of color, texture, and symmetry. The exterior is decorated with rhythmic, incised oval patterns, highlighting the artisanal character of the piece.
Particularly compelling for its unusual color combination and elaborate decoration, this distinctive example reflects the experimental spirit and expressive craftsmanship of Londi’s celebrated ceramic designs. The handmade nature of the work lends it an individual character, making it a wonderful collector’s piece.
Equally suited as a statement ashtray, decorative catchall, or sculptural centerpiece.
