This is a striking Bitossi Italy vase using the very popular sgrafitto popular in the 1950s-1960s from Bitossi as well as some sprigged on two tone leaves. The vase stands 7 1/2 inches tall. This vase is part of the Rosenthal-Netter line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics as it is carries an original paper label. The body of the vase is done in what I call Aldo Londi's Bark or Earth background in which the chocolate brown body of the clay is glazed with a clear glaze to contrast the vivid colors Londi loved to use. It seems that the Rosenthal-Netter line was a brighter toned line than the Raymor Line. One sees a lot of yellows and oranges on the Rosenthal-Netter line. This particular vase also has five sprigged on two-tone abstract stylized leaves done in that very popular style of the 1950s. The stems of the flowers of leaves have been incised into the body by the sgraffito technique so beloved by Londi. In addition to the original paper Rosenthal-Netter black and white paper label, there is also an original factory label with carries the stock number 240/3 and the words Made in Italy. The piece is in excellent condition and would be a star addition to any Raymor Bitossi Londi collection.  This vase stands 7 inches tall and is 3 inches wide at the mouth. It is done in the Brutalist manner of the late 1950s-early 1970s. The surface of the terra cotta vase is covered with a chocolate base glaze over which a spattered layer of glazed was added to add texture over which the colors have been applied, with thick black lines outlining the colored sections. A bland band is at the bottom and the top Above the bottom black band there is a band of black diagonal lines. A very abstract bird with orange eye and tail circles the vase. The body of the bird is done in yellow with black lines separating the yellow sections. The same horizontal aquamarine color band outlined in black can be seen in three different places on the vase. The vase is in excellent condition. The piece is signed simply in capital leters MADE IN ITALY with a sans serif font as opposed to the Toscany pieces with a serif font for the word Italy. This funky and retro Mid-century pottery was probably made in Italy by the Toscany Company, of Empoli Italy. Empoli is a town in Tuscany about 20 miles south of Florence. Empoli is also not far from Montelupo, a famous center of Italian pottery made for export to the United States. The silver label seen on identical pieces seems to be restricted to the 1945-1970 time period. Another possibility is that it is from the studio of Bruno Bagnoli, who worked for Bitossi at Montelupo. Perhaps lesser known here in the United States than Aldo Londi, he nonetheless is well represented in Italy. His work can be seen on pages 160-161 in the book titled Novecento Ceramiche Italiane, Volume 2, by Emanuele Gaudenzi. Add it to your Midcentury Pottery collection today. This would look stunning on a McCobb, Parzinger or Eames piece.  This vase stands 7 1/2 inches tall and is 1 inch wide at the mouth. It is done in the Brutalist manner of the late 1950s-early 1970s.

Marked with the numbers 46/4. B, this vase is a design of master potter Aldo Londi, who worked for the Bitossi as Artistic Director from 1946 on. This vase has the capital letter B mark which dates it to the 1950s era of Bitossi production. It is without a doubt a creation of Aldo Londi himself. It stands 6 1/2 inches tall with a top opening of 2 1/2 inches. The upper part of the vase is done in what is being called the Brutalist style these days. The natural body of the piece was left unglazed and a texture was added to ressemble cork. A clear glaze was applied on top of this. The bottom third of the vase features vertical bands which were incised into the clay body. Each is glazed in a different color: white, chartreuse, turquoise and a darker blue. There is also a band on incised dots separating the cork area from the colored vertical bands. This is a classic Londi decorative motif.

Italian Raymor era Egyptian bottle vase $60.00
This is a striking Bitossi Italy vase using the very popular sgrafitto technique popular in the 1950s. This vase most likely was part of the Raymor line of imported Italian pottery and ceramics. It stands 10 5/8 inches tall and is 4 1/4 inches wide at the base. The heavy red base clay is glazed in a whitish tan glaze. Using sgrafitto incising, the decorator created a large Egyptian figure carrying two pots. There are also three cartouches on the back where the clay has been carved out and enamel dots have been added. The condition is very good considering this type of decoration is quite fragile. There is a small flake at the rim that happened long ago. I see no other damage. There are areas of the vase where the sgrafitti left some areas without the white underglaze but this is not damage. The colors of the figure are yellow, orange, blue, red, green with a pink face, brown body and hair. I have not seen many other Mid century Bitossi pieces with this decoration. The base also carries the initials VP. It appears that the botte vase may have had a cork as there is still one inside the vase. Add it to your Mid century Italian pottery collection today.  Bitossi Londi Raymor 8 inch long x 4 inch wide Rimini Blue Bitossi green/blue covered cigarette box, with original circular paper label stating Made in Italy, signed Italy 955 in black ink. One can always tell the Bitossi items by the way the I and T are conjoined in the word ITALY.This was made by the well-known and highly respected Italian firm of Bitossi. This covered cigarette box is extremely heavy. It has a textured Londi Rimini blue surface onthe outside bottom and a hand-tooled surface decorated with what I call the Raindrop pattern, rows of indentations which give it depth and texture. As with most of the Bitossi heavy covered cigarette boxes one finds, this one has a few small chips to 2 of the inside corners of the box (see photos) . However, the lid is in perfect shape, which is hard to find.  This bottle shaped vase stands 15 inches tall. It is covered with both vertically incised lines and indentations horizontally in the body of the piece. The piece has been painted in black, deep pink, and gold done in horizontal bands. It is simply a stunning piece of Eames era Midcentury ceramic art. The bottom is signed V222/43 and the word Italy in bold black letters. I would guess that the piece is Bitossi by the way the IT of Italy is written. It is in excellent shape. It would great on a Paul McCobb piece or even a Noguchi table.  This great example is most likely from the Raymor line of imported articles made in Italy for the American market. Marked on the bottom in gold ink is B56 Italy. The covered cigarette box is extremely heavy. The bottom is a matte black glaze. The top has a tan background with yellow and black horizontal lines through it . A very striking combination of colors and a very good Mid Century piece of pottery! There are some small chips to the black base on the inside of the box where the lid comes into contact with it, thus the reasonable price. The top is undamaged . Add it to your Raymor or Italian Mid-Century pottery collection today
