Italian Modern Ceramic Vase Aldo Londi for Fratelli Fanciullacci, 1960s

About the Item

Mid-Century Modern textured Italian pottery Vase made by Fratelli Fanciullacci in the early 1960s. With a glossy Rimini blue glaze over incised clay stamped with Aldo Londi's iconic round circles and heavy ribbed bands in blue black glaze. Terracota bottom. Very good condition with no issues. Measurements: 14 inches high x 5 inches diameter at widest. Bitossi bought Fratelli Fanciullacci after the war and allowed the family to continue making their own wares with not much interference. A devastating flood in 1966 destroyed the factory which was rebuilt but quality suffered and finally the company closed in 1988.

About Bitossi (Manufacturer) Like a Fellini movie, the ceramics of this famed Italian company embody a creative spectrum that ranges from the playful and earthy to the high-minded and provocative. Based in Florence, Bitossi Ceramiche draws on craft traditions that date back to the 1500s. These find expression in the artisanal vases and animal figures by the firm’s longtime art director Aldo Londi, as well as the colorful, totemic vessels designed by the high priest of postmodernism, Ettore Sottsass. The company was incorporated by Guido Bitossi in 1921, though the family began making art pottery in the mid-19th century. In the 1930s, Londi came aboard, bringing with him a mindset that respected time-honored craft, yet looked also to the future. On the one hand, Londi’s perspective fostered the making of Bitossi’s popular whimsical animal figures, hand-shaped and -carved and finished in a rich azure glaze known as “Rimini Blue.” But with his other hand, Londi reached out to thoughtful, experimental designers such as Sottsass.
