Vintage Ettore Sottsass for Bitossi Ceramic Vase, Alen & Holme Shape 565 | 1960s Italian Studio Pottery

A rare and highly collectible ceramic vase designed by Ettore Sottsass for Bitossi in the 1960s, produced for the Scandinavian client Ahlen & Holm. This piece carries a documented international distribution history, adding a layer of provenance that serious design collectors will appreciate.

Sottsass's ceramic work for Bitossi predates his Memphis Group fame and is increasingly recognised as a significant and undervalued chapter in his design legacy. Examples produced for specific international clients such as Ahlen & Holm are particularly scarce.

Condition
Perfect — no chips, cracks or restoration. An exceptional opportunity for the serious design collector.
