Maker / Origin:
Unmarked body with a lighter insert stamped Japan. During the 60s-70s, many Japanese companies such as Penguin, Royal, and numerous Tokyo-based metalworks produced ornate novelty table lighters for export. These often featured cast metal bodies with pewter or silver-tone finishes and Rococo- or Baroque-inspired motifs, much like this example. The ornate vase form was a popular gift and home décor style at the time.
