Bitossi Ceramiche Rimini Blu Ceramic Ashtray

Reissued for the 21st-century collector, Rimini Blu is an iconic collection produced by late ceramic artist Aldo Londi. Named after the seaside resort on the Riviera Romagnola that epitomised the glamour of la dolce vita in the 1950s, the line-up is characterised by texture – a collision of geometric and abstract engravings – and layers of blue and green tones that come to life when fired. This ashtray is handmade from refractory white clay in the Bitossi workshop and decorated with a manual stencil and blue crystalline.

Just shy of Florence, you’ll find the tiny commune of Montelupo Fiorentino, cosying up to the Tuscan hillside. It’s here where the Bitossi family made their name in the local ceramic trade as kiln workers, sculptors and painters, their artisanal lineage stretching as far back as the mid-1500s. Present-day Bitossi was shaped by master ceramicists – first Guido Bitossi, then Aldo Londi. Since the 50s, Bitossi has collaborated with a curated selection of designers from across the globe, making the offerings as diverse as they are desirable. Each made-in-Italy piece is a work of art, even those with functional purposes, such as vases, candlesticks and tableware – true conversation pieces for the hospitable home.
