Brutalist Metal Ashtray by Marcello Fantoni for Raymor, circa 1950

About the Item

A vintage Italian Brutalist hand-worked metal ashtray by Marcello Fantoni for Raymor, made in Italy circa 1950. Patinated copper in tones of chartreuse, turquoise, and pewter. Born in Florence in 1915, Marcello Fantoni wed ancient Italian pottery technique with decidedly Modernist elements, garnering tremendous acclaim both at home and abroad - his work has been collected by important museums worldwide. When Fantoni died in Florence in 2011 at the age of 95, his obituary in the Italian newspaper La Nazione hailed him “The master of beauty.” This particular piece showcases his exquisite craftsmanship and attention to detail. Note the maker’s marks on verso, which read “Fantoni Firenze” and “Raymor Italy.” Good condition with minor signs of age. 7.5” diameter X 1.25” height.
