Mid-Century Modern Italian Ceramic Bottle Vase – Raymor (marked “RAYOR”), Italy, c. 1950s–1970s

Elegant mid-century modern Italian ceramic bottle vase imported by Raymor.

Marks
Handwritten on the base: “18 F / ITALY / RAYOR”.
“RAYOR” is a known handwriting variation/misspelling of RAYMOR, the important American importer of Italian modern ceramics (1950s–1970s). Such minor spelling differences appear on genuine hand-marked export pieces and are accepted.

Height 29.5 cm
Body diameter 12 cm

Condition
Very good vintage condition. Light surface wear consistent with age. There is a small crater on the surface (see close-up photo), likely from a clay bubble that was worked during making and then fully glazed over. This is a manufacturing characteristic, not a chip or defect.
