Description

A vintage Bitossi ceramic table lamp dating from around 1970, this piece features the distinctive Spagnoli pattern, an impressed geometric design associated with Aldo Londi’s work for the Italian ceramics house during the 1960s and 1970s.

The vase-form ceramic base is finished in a rich mustard and brown glaze over the textured incised surface, showcasing the bold colours and sculptural character that made Bitossi ceramics highly regarded among collectors. While the piece is unsigned and cannot be attributed directly to Aldo Londi, the pattern and glaze are consistent with Bitossi production from this period.

Paired with a new handwoven natural fibre shade on a white metal frame, this lamp balances Italian ceramic craftsmanship with warm, contemporary functionality. Tested and tagged for Australian use, it is ready to illuminate a sideboard, bedside table, or considered interior.

Vintage Italian Bitossi Ceramic Table Lamp

Bitossi is one of Italy’s most recognised ceramic manufacturers, celebrated for its distinctive mid-century designs, expressive glazes, and collaborations with influential designers including Aldo Londi.

The Spagnoli pattern represents the geometric and textural approach that defined much of Bitossi’s output during the 1960s and 1970s. The impressed surface creates depth beneath the mustard and brown glaze, allowing the ceramic form to become both a functional lamp base and a sculptural decorative object.

This example has been carefully paired with a new handwoven natural fibre shade, allowing warm light to filter through the woven texture while complementing the original ceramic tones.

A refined piece of Italian mid-century design, suited to collectors and interiors seeking authentic vintage character.
