Mid century painted ceramic lighter by Aldo Londi for Bitossi, 1960s

About the Item

A vintage Italian mid century modern ceramic table lighter by Aldo Londi for Bitossi, imported by Rosenthal-Netter, 1960s. This unique lighter boasts tones of marigold, tangerine, and chocolate, as well as a vaguely psychedelic leaning motif reminiscent of the flower power movement of the 1960s, featuring large graphic daisies against a geometric plane. A statement lighter if ever there was one! Working condition unknown as I’m unable to ship anything containing lighter fluid but there is a spark when the lever is pressed so I assume it is indeed functional. The matching ashtray is also available in my shop; happy to bundle if one should desire the pair - just click “see more from this seller” to browse. Pick up in central west Los Angeles or we ship worldwide.

Monumental Brutalist Ashtray by Marcello Fantoni for Raymor, 1950s
By Raymor, Marcello Fantoni
Located in View Park, CA
A green glow: monumental vintage Italian brutalist hand-worked metal ashtray by Marcello Fantoni for Raymor, made in Italy circa 1950. Patinated copper in tones of chartreuse, teal, 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 stunning piece certainly justifies the moniker. With the signature etched on verso, it is without doubt an heirloom rarity for the savvy collector...
