That looks special

I bought this in a charity shop at the weekend. I have had Bitossi items before, usually the Rimini Blue works of Aldo Londi. This is along those lines but I am not sure. Any suggestions or alternative names appreciated. Thanks.

Looks like Bitossi to me

It has a couple of glaze flake chips which I have seen on all the Rimini blue items I have had. I have never seen these colours used before and I can't find anything remotely like it coming from Bitossi. Aldo Londi? or someone else?

I believe this to date to the 1960's, Aldo Londi, Bitossi.
Can anyone confirm this please? I'd also be grateful for the design, if anyone knows of it.
Thanks.

Yes, it’s Bitossi. I dont know what date it is. I assume the stamped Italy mark means it’s late 20thC

Thanks for the feedback Naomi, much appreciated.
I meant to update earlier, but got distracted. I discovered the design, it's Art Nouveau, circa 1960s.

Worst than that the system still showed that the PAYPAL transaction had not completed. I was stuck in the system going round and round for days.

Anyway I was looking for the rooster / cockerel to go with them.

Somewhere else is saying;

Bitossi Orange 'Siviglia Colorato' ( Seville Coloured ) Range Rooster Design by Aldo Londi 1964, 1969.
Decorated with impressed and sgraffitto stylised flowers and glossy orange glaze.

Good day. I have this little character too and was wondering if there was a cockerel to go with it. Did you get any joy?

One of each sold recently on ebay. I missed them. Something like 120 hen 100 Cockell. I only paid 65 for both but that was 10 years back o.ne pops up every few years!

Thanks for your reply. I have had mine for about the same length of time. I have to say that I like the orange range rather than the blue but a bit of both makes for a colourful homelife. Prices have gone bonkers though and with so many being across the Atlantic opportunities to buy are limited. Fortunately I don't just collect Bitossi!

I agree completely about collecting more than one thing. Keep an open mind and trust your own judgement. That way every now and then you will buy something wonderful that is a delight to your newly opened eyes but also takes you down a new rabbit hole of research and reading to a place you neve knew existed in a world far far away, or just to Ewenny, Rye or Wrotham :)
