Circa: 1945-1970
Manufacturer: Bitossi, Flavia, Aldo Londi, Montelupo, Italy
Marked with the numbers 46/4. B, this vase is a design of master potter Aldo Londi, who worked for the Bitossi as Artistic Director from 1946 on. This vase has the capital letter B mark which dates it to the 1950s era of Bitossi production. It is without a doubt a creation of Aldo Londi himself.
It stands 6 1/2 inches tall with a top opening of 2 1/2 inches. The upper part of the vase is done in what is being called the Brutalist style these days. The natural body of the piece was left unglazed and a texture was added to ressemble cork. A clear glaze was applied on top of this. The bottom third of the vase features vertical bands which were incised into the clay body. Each is glazed in a different color: white, chartreuse, turquoise and a darker blue. There is also a band on incised dots separating the cork area from the colored vertical bands. This is a classic Londi decorative motif. The top and interior of the vase are glazed in a Londi blue glaze. The mark on the bottom is done in an orange color. The vase is in excellent condition.
