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 pair of ceramic table lamps in the 'Ikano' decor, in the brown and gold colour option, circa 1960s.

Both have been paired with a hand-made lamp shades made out of a truly glorious vintage fabric, courtesy of our friends at Retrotastik.

The lamp bases are in excellent vintage condition with no wear that we can see. Please note the lamp shades may have some inconsistencies in the pattern and fabric itself being vintage, however it is free from damage.

They measure approx 77cm (30") tall including the shade, 30cm tall not including the shade or light fixture. 

Both have been professionally rewired with a new cable to meet Australian electrical standards. Essentially, they're all ready to go!

 

This listing is for the pair, preferably sold together, however we're happy to separate if you'd prefer to purchase just one. Please make contact to discuss.
