Bitossi

Italian, established 1921

BiographyGuido Bitossi founded Manifattura Cavaliere Bitossi e Figlia (Manufacturer Sir Bitossi and Sons) in 1921 in Montelupo Fiorentino, a municipality of Florence. The family had been involved in making roof tiles for centuries and the 1921 enterprise was geared to continue making these roof tiles plus floor tiles, everyday household ceramic items and some art pottery. In 1937 the management of the company was given to Guido’s sons, Mario, Marcello and Vittoriano.

All examples are handmade and hand-decorated by artisans. These items are not mass-produced. Wheel-thrown, handmade, hand-decorated pottery is always individualistic and imperfect.
