Description from the seller

No reserve

Vintage 1960s-70s tabletop lighter, combining Ronson's mechanical precision with the refined Italian artisanal craftsmanship of the base.

The piece presents itself as an imposing block of hand-cut transparent crystal, with clean, minimalist cubic geometry, that houses an internal cylindrical metal cavity.

This structure creates fascinating plays of reflections and transparencies that vary with the angle of the light.

The technological core consists of a removable Ronson piezoelectric insert. The insert is made of shiny chrome-plated metal and bears the logo on a golden foil.

The overall solidity is evident from the substantial weight of the piece, which reaches 967 grams in total; the glass body alone weighs a solid 926 grams, imparting exceptional stability and a tactile sense of great value.

From an aesthetic standpoint, the lighter is in excellent condition; the glass is free from any chipping and retains its original brilliance, with sharp edges and well-preserved surfaces.

This is a visually striking collector's piece, ideal both as a sought-after decorative accessory for a prestigious desk and as a distinctive element in a retro- or contemporary-styled living room.
