By designer Aldo Londi, the master Italian ceramist in 1960’s. Who created a range of decorative objects in the latter half of the 20^th century for the manufacturer, Bitossi. This piece depicts a middle-ages knight wielding his lance while holding his shield on horseback. His trusty steed resembles the ancient clay horses made in Greece, Rome or China, is a very solid and imposing in stature.

Beautifully detailed and decorated with impressed motifs and with a rough texture to the finish created using crushed granules in the clay, characteristic of Bitossi’s output and these techniques can be seen on the iconic ‘Rimini Blu’ pieces. A rustic style in muted, glossy layers of ochre & green glazes. In wonderful condition, it still retains a small piece of it’s original paper label on the bottom of the horse’s rear feet. Complete with what appears to be the original metal lance.

makes a fantastic display piece, and would look great in any 60’s, 70’s, retro, vintage, mid-century modern, modernist or contemporary interior. A great addition to any collection of Bitossi / Italian / European art pottery or 20th century design.

Unmarked on the base as is common with these pieces because they come with a paper label.

The approximate measurements are:

10 ¾ inches tall x 3 ¾ inches wide x 7 inches deep

Made in Italy, 1960-1969
