When people ask what MCM craftsmanship looks like, this Aldo Londi vase for Bitossi is a pretty good answer. Made in Italy in the late 1960s, it's a lovely little example of just how intricate Italian pottery got during the period.

The vase has a white body wrapped in concentric bands of yellow, black, and red, with the surrounding colours working together to trace and emphasize the vase's shape. It's a genuinely striking piece of Italian Mid-Century pottery, made by an absolute master of the craft.

Features:

• Glazed ceramic construction with a smooth white body
• Concentric striped bands in yellow, black, and red
• Compact scale — fits easily on a shelf, credenza, or sideboard
• Signed and numbered (480/ 800) on the base
• Made in Italy, late 1960s

About Aldo Londi & Bitossi Ceramiche

Aldo Londi (1911–2003) spent the bulk of his long, celebrated career shaping the output of Bitossi Ceramiche, the Italian manufactory that became synonymous with playful, high-craft Mid-Century pottery. Londi paired deep technical skill in traditional artisanal ceramic methods with a genuinely whimsical eye, turning out forms, patterns, and finishes that still feel distinctive and expressive decades later. Pieces bearing his name are a benchmark for design lovers who want real Italian ceramic craftsmanship, not just the look of it.

Style notes

This vase slots easily into a Mid-Century Modern interior anywhere in Toronto or the wider Ontario design scene — on a console table, bookshelf, or grouped with other Italian pottery for a curated shelf display. Its bold striping and compact size make it a versatile styling piece for design lovers who want authentic vintage character without needing a lot of real estate.
