1960s Marcello Fantoni Ceramic Lamp for Raymor

Marcello Fantoni / Raymor / Italy

Marcello Fantoni produced this ceramic table lamp for Raymor during the 1960s. The bottle-form base employs hand-applied glazing techniques with gestural brushwork in earth tones of olive green, brown, and cream. Raymor's importation of Fantoni's work introduced American audiences to Italian ceramic innovation during the postwar period. Wear consistent with age and use. Shade not included.
