A wonderful Mmid century modernist stoneware ram designed by Aldo Londi for Bitossi Ceramiche. Inspiration for the glaze came from the Adriatic sea off the coast of Rimini. The glaze and the series has become iconic and among the most highly collectable of Aldo Londis' work.
The geometric 'Sgraffito' decor is very tactile, with shapes and lines embossed into the clay during the crafting process. The glaze displays strokes of green, Persiano and deep blue.
There are a few small glaze chips on the legs, tail and horns. The right front foot has a small chip as shown.
