Circa: 1950-1970
Manufacturer: Bitossi, Flavia, Aldo Londi, Montelupo, Italy
This is a striking Bitossi Italy vase using the very popular sgrafitto popular in the 1950s-1960s from Bitossi as well as some sprigged on two tone leaves. The vase stands 7 1/2 inches tall. This vase is part of the Rosenthal-Netter line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics as it is carries an original paper label.
The body of the vase is done in what I call Aldo Londi's Bark or Earth background in which the chocolate brown body of the clay is glazed with a clear glaze to contrast the vivid colors Londi loved to use. It seems that the Rosenthal-Netter line was a brighter toned line than the Raymor Line. One sees a lot of yellows and oranges on the Rosenthal-Netter line.
This particular vase also has five sprigged on two-tone abstract stylized leaves done in that very popular style of the 1950s. The stems of the flowers of leaves have been incised into the body by the sgraffito technique so beloved by Londi.
In addition to the original paper Rosenthal-Netter black and white paper label, there is also an original factory label with carries the stock number 240/3 and the words Made in Italy.
The piece is in excellent condition and would be a star addition to any Raymor Bitossi Londi collection. |
