The name Rimini Blu is a tribute to the Romagna Riviera, a major destination for international tourism. The ceramics of the collection bear graphic motifs stamped into the surface texture. Quick touches of colour lie beneath the blue glaze, and the crystalline layer makes them luminous. In the owl the decoration is freer and almost pictorial.

The owl is also among the subjects of Rimini Blu Le Miniature, the edition that celebrates seventy years of stamp engraving. Bitossi Ceramiche has been based in Montelupo Fiorentino since 1921. A traditional symbol of wisdom, the owl is a natural companion for books and a home office.
