English Water Mill Smoking Set with Integrated Lighter, Cast Metal This smoking set is modeled as a traditional English water mill building, executed in cast metal with detailed architectural elements such as a thatched-style roof texture, mill wheel, doors, and small utilitarian motifs. The form combines decorative object design with functional components, reflecting mid-20th-century European interest in narrative domestic accessories. The piece includes a removable lid forming the roof and an integrated table lighter housed in a small auxiliary structure. Manufacturer and origin: English production, United Kingdom Year of production: 1950 Style or use: Smoking set with integrated lighter, decorative tabletop object Current condition: Good vintage condition with visible age-related patina and surface wear consistent with use.

Basis for value: Sculptural architectural form combined with functional smoking accessories. The detailed mill representation, original configuration, and mid-century English origin support collectability. Comparable examples are documented in period European smoking sets of the 1950s.
