Description
This exquisite Mid-Century Modern ceramic bowl by Alvino Bagni for Raymor is a stunning example of Italian craftsmanship. The hand-glazed surface features a mesmerizing blend of blue, green, and earthy tones, creating a dynamic patina that enhances its sculptural form. The exterior showcases a geometric relief pattern, adding depth and texture to the design, while the integrated rests suggest its original function as an ashtray. A rare and collectible piece, this work embodies the experimental and artistic spirit of Italian ceramics in the 1960s. In excellent original vintage condition, it serves as both a functional object and a statement display piece.
Fun Historical Fact:
Alvino Bagni, an influential Italian ceramicist, collaborated with Raymor to bring European artistry to the American market during the postwar design boom. His innovative glazing techniques and modernist forms made his pieces highly sought after by collectors. Raymor, a key importer of high-end European design, played a pivotal role in introducing Americans to Scandinavian and Italian ceramics in the mid-20th century. -
