Hello!
I need to identify this copper ice buckett. In my recent researches in the internet, i found this very similar item (in 1stbids) but with a pear shape.
The seller says that is a Raymor (Bitossi) object.

Is this other link i found the apple shape ice buckett, but in aluminium and without designer references.

I don't know but I wouldn't t...
I don't know but I wouldn't trust the attribution just because it's 1st Dibs. I've seen some things on there that are wrong. I'm assuming the seller is saying that because it's got a Raymor sticker on it. But Bitossi was a pottery factory as far as I know. Raymor imported lots of home decor items from Europe.
You should just write to the seller and ask, but my guess is you won't hear back from them.
Bitossi? Where?
I don't see Bitossi referenced in either listing.
The copper one says "made in Italy and imported by Raymor".The four aluminum ones simply say made in Italy".
My understanding has always been that Bitossi was a ceramics company and Aldo Londi was the design director for many years. He did not design everything they produced, but he did design many of their signature pieces.
The ceramics were imported into the US by Raymor and also Rosenthal Netter.
I can easily see Raymor importing the metal ice buckets, but I do not understand how they could be connected to Bitossi.
