This big, beautiful rich blue vase with glowing gold little medallion type decorations on a dimpled surface is an unsigned and rare Rimini blue Aldo Londi Bitossi creation.
I could not find another one like it, but the cylindrical shape, size (12” tall, 6” wide), double handles, and dark clay are the same as a signed Londi vase of a different color (see photo).
The similar intense blue with gold decorations can be found on an unusual signed head that I found (see photo).<...br>Unfortunately, one of the handles has been broken and repaired; but this is such a rare and stunning vase that it would be well worth having a good restoration done, which wouldn’t be difficult, since all the parts are there and the repair could easily be disguised (I thought of doing it myself, and I'm a klutz).
