Mid-Century Modern Ceramic Planter by Tautory for Raymor, Italy - 9 x 13 x 4.5 A Mid-Century Modern ceramic planter or decorative vessel by Tautory for Raymor, Italy. The piece consists of a substantial rectangular block base surmounted by a smaller, hollow, irregularly shaped oval top section. It is crafted from stoneware or heavy ceramic, finished with a mottled, textured glaze exhibiting shades of verdant green, yellow-green, and dark brown, which imparts an intentional weathered or aged aesthetic. The front surface of the base is adorned with deeply incised diagonal lines forming a distinct crisscross pattern. Stylistically, the piece aligns with a Mid-Century Modern design sensibility, potentially incorporating Brutalist or organic influences. The underside of the base is marked with yellow painted script that reads ”Tautory ITALY for Raymor,” indicating its country of origin and association with the well-known Mid-Century importer.
