Raymor Modern Artware

White Raymor Modern Artware

The candle holder was once owned by Ann Kerr and it is marked differently from other candle holders I have seen.  RMA numbers are: 61-11 (vase), 52 (candle holder), 28-8 (bowl), and 98-6 (ashtray).

The bottom of the candle holder is flat...not like others I have seen, and has this sticker and this pencil marking.

Paul, I am simply blown away by your amazing collection of RMA. It's absolutely gorgeous. I've only run across on piece in the wild, unfortunately. If I had to collect only one line of anything--I think it would be anything Ben did for Roseville.

Re: Raymor Modern Artware

Thanks Mike, but my collection is very minor when compared to others I have seen.  Pieces seem pretty rare to find in the wild, but are usually fairly priced when found.  Many Roseville dealers don't even know what I am talking about when I ask for this line!
