This guide is for collectors and design enthusiasts seeking a unique, sculptural accent piece. The key benefit is owning a piece of Italian ceramic art history, faithfully reproduced. A caveat is that each piece, being handmade, will have slight variations. The Figura Gatto Alto is a tall, decorative ceramic cat from Bitossi's Rimini Blu collection, featuring intricate geometric engravings and a distinctive blue glaze. It is handcrafted in Italy using traditional 1950s techniques.

The Figura Gatto Alto is part of the renowned Rimini Blu collection by Bitossi, designed by Aldo Londi.
No, due to the handmade nature of the product, each Figura Gatto Alto will have unique variations in glaze application and surface details, making every piece one-of-a-kind.
The cat figure is made from high-quality ceramic, utilizing traditional casting and glazing techniques.
The intricate patterns are applied by stencil, a technique used faithfully since the original designs were created.
The name references the sunlit coastal feel inspired by the Italian town of Rimini, which the distinctive blue glaze aims to evoke.
It is recommended for indoor use only. Exposure to outdoor elements, such as moisture, UV rays, and temperature fluctuations, can damage the ceramic and glaze.
The 'Alto' designation indicates it is the taller version of the cat figure. Specific dimensions would be available in the product's detailed specifications, but it is designed to be a substantial sculptural piece.
This is normal for handmade ceramic items. Slight variations in glaze and color are characteristic of the artisanal process and add to the unique charm of each piece. They are not considered defects.
Handle with extreme care to avoid impact. Minor surface marks can sometimes be buffed out with a very fine ceramic polish, but test in an inconspicuous area first. Significant chips cannot be repaired and may require replacement.
Use a soft brush (like a makeup brush or a specialized art brush) to gently dislodge dust from the detailed engraved sections before wiping with a soft cloth.
Setup:
The Figura Gatto Alto requires no assembly. It is ready to be placed as a decorative item upon unboxing. Ensure the surface where it will be displayed is stable and level.
Compatibility:
This is a purely decorative item and has no functional compatibility requirements. It is designed to complement various interior design styles, particularly mid-century modern, eclectic, or art-focused decors.
Care:
To maintain the integrity and appearance of the ceramic glaze and engravings:
