Vintage Flavia (Bitossi) Italy Ceramic Vase MCM Starburst Abstract 8\" For Sale

Up for sale is a beautiful and authentic mid-century modern art pottery vase manufactured by Flavia Montelupo in Tuscany Italy - a primary production division of the renowned Bitossi Ceramiche.
Standing 8\" tall, this striking centerpiece vase features a highly graphic, sgraffito - style abstract design with bold starburst medallions on the body and vertical stripes along the tapered neck. Unlike the more common turquoise \"Rimini Blue\" pieces, this rare variant showcases a deeply pigmented Cobalt Navy Blue over a textured, sandy-buff cream clay base.
The bottom of this piece features the authentic crisp impressed factory stamp reading \"FLAVIA / MONTELUPO / ITALY\".
As is typical with authentic hand-painted earthenware from this era, there may be glaze or paint irregularities, inherent to the manufacturing process, adding to the rustic MCM charm. Please review all images for details.
