This is one out of five Bitossi Owl Heads I found for sale by a man that listed them as "folk art" pieces. I didn't know anything about Bitossi Ceramics when I found them but, just like the seller, I got immediately attracted by their beautiful and somewhat odd design. Different from the seller though, I had Google Lens telling me that they were Italian design pieces from the 1960s. Well, long story short, I now own the five of them. I will keep one of them for sure. They are 6 1/2 inches in diameter by 6 1/2 inches high.
Hope you like them.
Now, for some history on Bitossi Ceramics and Aldo Londi:
Founded in 1921 by Guido Bitossi in Montelupo Fiorentino, Italy, Bitossi Ceramiche is a renowned manufacturer blending traditional Tuscan craftsmanship with modern design. Under artistic director Aldo Londi (starting in 1946), the company gained international fame, particularly for the 1959 "Rimini Blue" collection. Now in its fourth generation, it continues to produce handmade, high-quality ceramic art.
