Description: MEASURES: Height : 9,45 inch ; Width: 9,25 inch ; Depth: 4,13 inch CONDITIONS:Perfect conditions. Item description:Ceramic sculpture entirely modeled by hand, enamelled and finally decorated and glazed with third fire cooking, present under the base written with the catalog number and the inscription Italy, sculpture created by Aldo Londi for the Bitossi manufacture, datable to the first decades of the 20th century, 1925-1940.Information on artist and/or manufacturer:The "Bitossi" artistic ceramics factory was founded and directed since 1921 by Guido Bitossi. From 1946, and until 1976, the ceramist Aldo Londi was appointed artistic director of the factory, which is based in Montelupo Fiorentino. Already active at the factory since the mid-1930s, he revolutionized its production, modernizing it and making it internationally famous. Some works of the manufacture are kept in the Museum of Ceramics in Faenza. In the last photos, just below this description, we have put biographical notions on the Bitossi manufacture and on the artist Aldo Londi for those who want to learn more.Useful information for the evaluation of the object:Also under this description we have included photos of some of the highest auction results achieved by Bitossi ceramics with prices ranging from a minimum of €1,000 up to €4,200. Then we put a photo of a horse similar to ours, but with a more prestigious metallic luster finish, for which over €2,300 is requested on Etsy, and a photo of another horse with orange enamel, but less worked than ours, for which, still on Etsy, 852 euros are requested, and finally the photo of two horses, smaller than ours, with blue enamel, listed at auction for 1500-2000 euros. All to give an idea of the importance of Bitossi ceramics in general and objects similar to ours.Final thoughts on the subject:This sculpture certainly belongs to the artistic productions made by Bitossi when Aldo Londi was the artistic director, in fact, the majolica animal subjects with heavy enamels and enriched by geometric decorations engraved with gouges, were designed by Aldo Londi. This sculpture, in particular, in orange color, belongs to the very first productions, very rare to find compared to the more common cobalt blue ones.

In fact, the asking price is always as low as possible, considering how much the item was paid for and the eBay commissions (for the sale, payment and any currency exchange: from a minimum of 15% to a maximum of 21% , according to the country in which the advertisement was made). For each object there may be multiple advertisements in different countries: USA, Italy, France, United Kingdom, etc. Any price differences are due only to changes in the exchange rate of the various currencies between when we made the advertisement and when you see it.
