Ceramic Vase “Bitossi - Rimini Blu 727/21”

This is a beautiful "Bitossi" vase with a fusion of blue and green.
This piece was created by Italian ceramist Aldo Londi for Bitossi in the 1950s and 1960s.
The product number is 727/21. The last 21 represents the height (21cm).
It is very thickly made and has a lot of weight.
There is some glazing peeling on some corners, please see the pictures.

I think the crack at the top has been there since it was first made.

Brand

[Bitossi]

It is an Italian ceramics manufacturer founded in 1921.
In 1946, Aldo Londi became art director and established a mass production system incorporating artisanal techniques.
"Rimini Blu" is a blue-based design created by Aldo Londi at Bitossi, and expresses the beautiful blue of the Adriatic Sea as seen from the city of Rimini in Italy.
Rimini Blue is still produced today, but due to various improvements in manufacturing methods, the current product has a slightly different texture than vintage Rimini Blue.

[Aldo Londi] (1911-2003)

A ceramic artist born in Florence, Italy, he began working in pottery workshops at a young age. During World War II, while a prisoner in a concentration camp in Johannesburg, he established a pottery workshop and devoted himself to his work. After the war, he traveled to various countries, creating works in each location and even contributing to the establishment of a pottery school.
His works have been exhibited at exhibitions both in Japan and abroad, including the Milan Triennale and the International Handicrafts Exhibition. Many of his works are held in collections such as the International Ceramics Museum of Faenza and the British Royal Collection.
