Created in a special miniature size, this is a limited-edition run of the authentic Rimini Blu Collection (1953–1965) designed by Aldo Londi. As the art director of Bitossi for more than 50 years, Londi built this collection over time, adding new figures that showed a different approach to his intricate hand-embossed patterns. Over the decades, there have been many products inspired by Londi's work, but only the master ceramists at Bitossi know the formula for this stunning blue glaze. Even today, each piece is made and painted by hand with layered glazes and firings, creating a deep, rich blue that evokes the feeling of the sea. As with any handcrafted object, small imperfections can sometimes be found and are consistent with the originality and craft process of the product. Each piece is numbered on the bottom; only 1000 of each style will be made. Made in Italy.
These are miniatures, measuring only a few inches tall.
This is a limited-edition run, and each piece is numbered on the bottom.
