Aldo Londi for Bitossi Yellow Perforated Ceramic Vase | Italian Mid-Century






Aldo Londi for Bitossi Yellow Perforated Ceramic Vase | Italian Mid-Century
The shade of yellow you didn’t know you needed
If the Rimini Blu is Aldo Londi’s greatest hit, this yellow vessel is the B-side that design collectors whisper about. This cylindrical vase features circular perforations beneath the rim.
Designed in the 1960s at the legendary Bitossi atelier in Montelupo Fiorentino, this piece steps away from the glossy blues and greens to embrace a bold, tactile yellow finish—more Bauhaus pop than Tuscan tradition.

Black & Gold Condition Guide
✨ We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:
Mint / Like New Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.
Excellent Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.
Very Good Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.
Good Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.
Well-Loved / As-Is This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem.
