Raymor was an Italian pottery company and I believe they were affiliated in some way with Richards in NY (who were distributors of Eames and other modernist designers). Their pieces can fetch a few hundred dollars especially if you can find out which artist actually designed and worked on the piece.

I hope this helps a little!

Cat sitting oh so casually on the ittybitty chair is fantabulous!!
I could see that being on the cover of a magazine.

We used to have one of those little chairs too. They used to make a lot of $$ on ebay.

The little kitty chair is awesome!

those cosco chairs are extremely popular and still bring good money on ebay, especially if in great condition (at least $50 and up depending on color, condition, etc). i have been searching for one for months that is the right color for my home and in good condition (as a toddler chair for my 2-year old son). what a find! :)

I love the little booster seat. A friend of mine has one for her kiddo, and I think they're so cute!

That booster seat photo is amazing! What a wonderful cat!

thank you so much for the info Kaye! and thank you everyone for your comments :)

sadly there is a small crack in the back of the chair top behind the cat...but I couldn't pass it up. I'll just have to make sure the cat sits there all the time to hide it!

hi dear! I really love your blog and your fine taste for vintage stuff!
the plate you've posted is a vintage '70s plate manufactured by the italian Bitossi and imported/distributed by Raymor and could be designed by the famous designer/architect Ettore Sottsass (but I could not swear!!!)who cooperated with Bitossi from early '50s to late '70s.
hope this will be helpful for you and excuse my bad english!! (i'm italian hehehe...)
ciao ; )
