Bitossi Vaso Forma Di Testa C.Coperchio
The Vaso Forma di Testa con Coperchio is a sculptural ceramic container originally designed by Aldo Londi in 1964. Shaped like a stylised human head, the piece is composed of two wheel-thrown elements in refractory red clay. Its surface is hand-incised and finished with a semi-gloss white glaze, highlighting the carved details and giving the form a quiet, expressive presence. This anthropomorphic design reflects Londi’s interest in blending figuration with functional form, a hallmark of his mid-century work for Bitossi.
Reissued in 2019 as part of the Riedizioni Archivio Storico collection, this edition is limited to 399 pieces. Each object is handmade in Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy, and faithfully reproduces the original model preserved in the Bitossi Museum Archive. It is marked with its archival inventory number and the historic “Cav. G. Bitossi & Figli” name at the base.
