In 1921 Guido Bitossi founded the "Maioliche artistiche Guido Bitossi" factory, proposing a type of production linked to the tradition and classical styles of the past, combined with research and a study on the ceramics products.
Starting from the early 1950s, the company’s evolution powerfully manifested itself in a modern vein under the artistic direction of Aldo Londi, a man with an innate creative and aesthetic sense, and a keen eye to the changes in the taste and the uniqueness of the Italian products.
Londi entered Bitossi in 1946 and from that time on was the undisputed protagonist for more than fifty years, first as a painter, then as artistic director, and finally as tireless researcher of styles and examples to be emulated.

THIS LISTING
A fabulous ceramic table lamp in the 'Sevilla' pattern in gold, circa 1970s.
It has been paired with a vintage lampshade in natural, earthy tones which has gold streaks through it. Such a subtle yet brilliant pairing.
The lamp base is in excellent vintage condition with no wear that we can see, and it measures approx 53cm (21") tall including the shade.
It has been professionally rewired to meet Australian electrical standards. Essentially, it's all ready to go!
