Description from the seller

Lot of 6 Vintage Table Lighters – Genuine Alabaster – Hand Carved – Italy

A refined lot of 6 vintage table lighters, all featuring bodies crafted from genuine alabaster stone.

Each piece is hand-carved from natural alabaster, displaying unique veining and color variations in tones of cream, honey, beige, green, and darker mineral inclusions. One example retains its original label: “Genuine Alabaster – Hand Carved – Made in Italy”, confirming authentic Italian production.

The lighters present sculptural, organic forms typical of mid-century decorative objects (circa 1960s–1970s), making them both functional and highly decorative.

All pieces are fitted with vintage metal lighter mechanisms.

Condition:
Good vintage condition with visible signs of age and use, including patina, oxidation, small surface marks, and minor wear consistent with age.
Untested and sold as found. Some may require servicing (flint, wick, or gas refill).

Materials:
- Genuine alabaster stone bodies (all 6 pieces)
- Metal mechanisms

Period:
Mid-20th century (approx. 1960s–1970s)

A cohesive and collectible set, ideal for tobacciana collectors or as decorative mid-century interior pieces.

Shipping:
Carefully packed and shipped within the European Union only, due to customs limitations in Romania.
