Italian Sgraffito Ceramic Bowl Attributed to Aldo Londi for Bitossi, 1960s
An Italian ceramic bowl from the 1960s, attributed to Aldo Londi for Bitossi, finished using the sgraffito technique with hand-incised linework cut directly into the surface.
Bands of deep blue-black glaze frame alternating sections of amber orange and luminous gold, giving the bowl a rhythmic, almost architectural quality. The carved surface catches light differently across each section, emphasizing the curvature of the form and revealing the hand behind its making.
A subtle notch at the rim interrupts the symmetry, while the interior radiates outward in concentric bands that draw the eye toward the center almost like a mosaic or tiled dome. Decorative yet still functional, the bowl shifts continuously depending on light and placement.
