For your consideration is a vintage 1960′s Italian art pottery pedestal compote centerpiece bowl. An import for Rosenthal -Netter who commissioned and imported decorative pottery to the United States from Ceramica Bitossi in Italy, this piece was designed and created by Bitossi’s famed Master Ceramicist, Aldo Londi. Part of Londi’s “Thai Silk” line, the centerpiece is the classic “Remini Blue” in color accented with contrasting chartreuse green and decorated with gold metallic enhancements. Standing approximately 9″ in height on a dramatic attached conical stand, the bowl is substantial in size measuring 10″ in diameter. Very light uniform crazing, inherently common in these pieces, is present on the bowls interior but has not darkened with the passage of time and is difficult to capture in photographic images. Otherwise the bowl is in remarkable vintage condition with no chips, cracks, damages, prior repairs, or other compromising imperfections found. Wear is commensurate for age and history of gentle well cared for use, so please regard the photos as they form a descriptive part of the listing. A fabulous and highly collectible piece of mid-century Italian art pottery that will be a crown jewel in any collection. All questions are welcome and encouraged to ensure complete satisfaction.
