<p>[QUOTE="Walter Del Pellegrino, post: 169216, member: 90"]I absolutely love your source of information for authoritative facts- <i>"Danish Ceramic Vase by Aldo Londi for Bitossi Ceramiche"</i>. How can there be so many errors packed into a single sentence. The vase isn't Danish. It was made in the city of Montelupo Fiorentino in Italy, approximately 1,182 miles from Copenhagen. Londi was creative director at Bitossi from 1946 and later promoted to Director of Manufacturing. He approved all the design produced by Bitossi but did not create all the designs. He had a full design staff plus he commissioned outside artists such as Sottsass, Zanini and Fornasetti. It therefore becomes difficult to establish which pieces were designed exclusively by Londi and which were designed by others. </p><p>Ceramiche translate into English as Ceramics not "Family"</p><p>Your claim that you can buy this bowl at "Hobby Lobby" or somewhere other than on the secondary vintage market wreaks of false bravado and simply is not true.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
