Bitossi (Italy)

Italian Bitossi pieces - starting off with some 'Rimini Blu' vases, bowls and pots - all from the 1950s/60s/70s era. This range was designed by Aldo Londi in the 1950s with the colour combination of blue and turquoise glazes said to have been inspired by the mediterranean sea. Various base marks (some shown) - the current modern production has the stamped 'Bitossi Flavia Montelupe' mark (no modern pieces shown here).

Here are some of their other colours - orange and red:-

Sorry Maarten but I've got my doubts about this too - can we see a base shot please?

Sure, here it is. Would be a disappointment if it is something else, although I still think it is kinda pretty.

Hello

Just wanted to throw this in to get your views whether this is the original article or a copy of a Bitossi vase. The impressed designed is very well defined and the overall quality of the vase is very good indeed. There are no markings whatsoever on the base. The vase is 27cm high.

Hello Pip

Thanks for your help and advice (still finding my way through the site!)
Here is a picture of the unmarked base...

I would say 99.9% yes Ed

and I'd say 100% yes :-)

So that's it then 199.9% yes

On behalf of Totie: thanks guys. :ch3:

And what about the red one on the previous page?

Here is another Bitossi vase in a different style.
