About the Item

A bold, sculptural black ceramic horse in the brutalist modernist style pioneered by Aldo Londi for Bitossi Ceramiche's celebrated Rimini Blu series, Italy, circa 1960s. Finished in a deep, glossy jet-black glaze rather than the line's signature turquoise, this is a scarce colorway of an iconic mid-century Italian design. The horse is modeled with Londi's characteristic geometric abstraction: an arched, blocky neck, a stylized angular muzzle, and richly textured tack, a beaded bridle, halter straps, and cinch detail, hand-tooled into the clay before glazing. The sturdy, cylindrical block legs give the piece a grounded, architectural presence, while the glossy black glaze catches light beautifully across the sculpture's rounded planes. The underside bears a hand-incised workshop mark, felt pads have been added to the base to protect furniture surfaces. A wonderful accent piece for a mid-century modern, brutalist, or eclectic interior, equally at home as a console or shelf sculpture, or paired with other Italian pottery animal figures of the period.
