This is a genuine vintage Bitossi “Vetrata” decorative bowl designed by the legendary Italian ceramic artist. Made in Italy during the height of the Mid-Century Modern era – circa 1950s-1960s. The “Vetrata” series, whose name means. In Italian, is one of the most sought-after Bitossi collections among MCM collectors, and it’s easy to see why. The interior is covered in a breathtaking mosaic of geometric triangles in rich aqua, teal, and cobalt blue, separated by dark lines that evoke the look of leaded stained glass windows. In direct sunlight, the glaze comes alive with luminous, jewel-like depth and color variation that photographs simply cannot fully capture. 10.25″ diameter, approximately 2 5/8″ in height. Weighs 2.14 lbs. Handmade glazed ceramic – authentic Italian studio pottery. Signed on base with style number 943 and artist signature. “Made in Italy” blue label on base. Vibrant teal exterior glaze with natural age-appropriate surface character. Stunning Vetrata interior – stained-glass geometric triangle pattern in teal, aqua, and cobalt blue. Decorative use only recommended; not intended for food use. ? Thank you so much for visiting acquiredbyangie!
