Gold Glazed Ceramic Lamps by Aldo Londi for Bitossi, pair

A pair of ceramic table lamps with a 24k metallic glaze, a proprietary finish to the Italian ceramic company Bitossi. With roots in Florence since 1536, the Bitossi family has practiced ceramics for centuries, founding their first factory in 1921. In 1946, the multi-disciplinary artist Aldo Londi became Bitossi's artist director. A life long experimentalist, Londi both respected Bitossi's traditional styles and possessed the innate sense of evolving Italian tastes. Requires rewiring, lampshades included.
