Bitossi?
Hello all you experts. Has anyone seen a tall square vase/umbrella pot like this from the Bitossi factory? I picked this up from a local thrift store for $15. It is 17 5/8" tall and 7" wide on each side. One sticker on the bottom reads ' 44/45 Made in Italy ' and the other sticker reads ' The Bay - $30.00'. There are no other markings. It has an orangey/red glaze.

I don't have any pottery groupings, but after seeing this thread, I'm sure I'll start pulling one together. Many of these pieces gain strength by comparing and contrasting.
And there are stand-alones, such as this one. I picked up at auction recently. Hand hewn and rough. No signature. Of course if anyone wants to send me off in some search direction aside from 'brutalist' I'd be grateful. Then maybe it will have some friends.
My compliments to all of you.
PS. Edited by me, my photo share is bugging'.
anybody recognize?
i like this thread....thanks for the peek everybody!
If anyone has any suggestions on
1st pic... black with white striations candlestick../ it is unmarked but has a small spot...a glue tattoo so to speak on the bottom...to remind itself of the sticker that once clung to its nether regions 😉
2nd pic...have no info on either piece...the bottom of the red pot has the same fat glaze and treatment as the body....
3rd pic...says 'italy' in black on the bottom...
