Description
Bitossi, for Raymor 'Cityscape' Lamp, Italy, C. 1960s
This iconic Bitossi lamp, imported by Raymor in the 1960s, is a testament to Italian craftsmanship and design. It highlights the subtle mastery of the renowned Bitossi pottery firm. The lamp takes the form of a hand-thrown tapered bottle vase, standing at an impressive 22 inches in height to the top of the socket (or 18 inches to the top of the vase), with a 5.5-inch diameter.
What truly sets this piece apart is its whimsical hand-painted cityscape scene that wraps around the vase. The continuous urban panorama captures the spirit of the 1960s, making it a true work of art.
This lamp has been rewired, ensuring it is not only a visual delight but also ready for immediate use with your chosen shade. A blend of form and function, this Bitossi for Raymor 'Cityscape' lamp is a rare find representing a short lived period of mid-century Italian design.
