1950s/60s Bitossi (Italy) Rimini Blu Four Footed Oval Dish designed by Aldo Londi

SOLD

This is an extremely unusual shaped piece of Bitossi pottery - in a charming oval leaf shape and with four feet - the first footed one and in this shape we've seen.  Designed by Aldo Londi for Bitossi in Italy circa 1960 in the famous Rimini Blu colour combination of blue and turquoise glazes (said to have been inspired by the colours of the mediterranean) and decorated with the impressed repeating pattern so typical of this range.  Marked to the base with '61/662 ITALY' it still bears the remains of a retailers sticker which says 'Imported exclusively by ......  LONDON' - unfortunately the name of the company that it was imported by cannot be read.  Please see all photographs for alternative views and close-ups.
