Supreme x Bitossi Rimini Blu Vase
Supreme vs. Original
Supreme version
About the original
Bitossi Ceramiche was founded in 1921 in Montelupo Fiorentino, Tuscany (a town with a documented ceramics tradition dating to the 14th century) and the Rimini Blu line was designed by art director Aldo Londi in 1953. Each piece is hand-thrown earthenware dipped in Londi's cobalt-blue glaze and incised in horizontal bands of small geometric motifs; the vase in this collab carries rows of Xs, circles, hearts, and dotted stripes, with a Supreme wordmark incised into one of the bands. Londi served as Bitossi's art director from 1946 until his death in 2003, and Rimini Blu has remained in continuous production at the original Montelupo workshop, where this SS23 piece was made for Supreme.
About Bitossi Ceramiche
Bitossi Ceramiche is an Italian ceramics manufacturer founded in 1921 by Guido Bitossi in Montelupo Fiorentino, near Florence, Italy. The studio gained its design identity in the 1950s under art director Aldo Londi, who joined in 1946 and led production for more than fifty years. Londi's Rimini Blu series, with incised geometric patterns under a deep cobalt glaze, became a defining mid-century ceramic and remains in production. Bitossi pieces sit in museum collections including MoMA and the Triennale di Milano, and the family still operates the workshop in Montelupo. Supreme collaborated with Bitossi Ceramiche on co-branded ceramic vases and ashtrays produced in Italy.
