Description from the seller

An elegant and cohesive vintage collector's set composed of two items masterfully crafted from solid 925 Sterling Silver. Both pieces feature a beautifully shared artistic theme, highlighting stylized human figures with a striking mid-century modernist aesthetic.
The Lighter (Ottaviani): A rare luxury pocket lighter made by the prestigious Italian silversmith Ottaviani. The solid silver sleeve features a magnificent, high-relief abstract human figure. The casing is clearly hallmarked "OTTAVIANI 925" along with the official Italian silversmith register marks. It operates with a classic lift-arm petrol and flint mechanism.
The Mechanical Pencil: A sleek and slender solid 925 silver writing instrument that complements the lighter beautifully. The top of the pencil features a highly detailed, miniature sculptural finial depicting a stylized human form.
Total Weight: 45.20 grams
Lighter Casing: 22.38 grams
Mechanical Pencil: 22.84 grams
Period: Circa 1970s
Origin: Italy
Condition: Excellent vintage condition with a gorgeous natural patina. The lighter mechanism has been tested, sparks strongly, and is fully functional.
A superb, high-quality set for collectors of fine silver tobaccoriana and vintage writing instruments. Please review the gallery photos for a complete view of the condition and hallmarks.
