Aldo Londi (Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy 1911-2003) was a painter, sculptor and primarily ceramist. He created objects that are still part of the history of Italian ceramics. After the war, Londi became Art Director of the famous Bitossi family ceramics studio in Montelupo. The style of Londi promoted the production of new high quality objects realized by handcraft methods. For Bitossi he designed his most famous lines of pottery such as ‘Rimini blu’, and the more rare ‘Rimini green’, the line this vase is from, glazed in vibrant green and embossed with abstract motifs and shapes.
