I seem to be collecting this beautiful 1960's blue Bitossi pottery.

Anyone else in it? What'd'ya think of it?

Great stuff-I'm fond of vintage Blenko Glass
Seems I'm filling my place with Blenko-in all the nooks & crannies.So beautiful on my Noguchi coffee table!!I like Bitossi, Raymor, Rosenthal Netter,and Gambone pottery too.The Gambone is really expensive-even on Ebay!

I
I have a theory.........
it's because it's blue!
I love the forms and shapes, and can't help thinking if the palette was more neutral they would fit better into people's homes.
I know if the bird was in more earthy/ studio pottery tones, I'd be lusting after one.

Question:
I'm a bit confused about the Bitossi stuff I collect.
Was it all designed by A. Londi?
Made in Italy by a company called Bitossi?
All distributed in the US by Raymor?
What is Flavia?
Some of mine are marked "italy" with a number
Some of mine is stamped "Flavia"
Some of mind have 'Raymor" paper labels
Some I've seen have a paper "Rosenthal Netter" label
I'm assuming that there was more than one company making similar blue Italian ceramic pieces at the same time.
I can't see another on the web that sorts it all out.
I'm thinking that not all of this stuff was handled here in the U.S. by Raymor.
Any help would be appreciated!
