Bidspirit auction | Japanese Molded Glass Table Lighters


Japanese Molded Glass Table Lighters - A collection of mid-century table lighters featuring various molded and pressed glass bases. The group includes two amberina glass examples with red-to-yellow gradients, one featuring a lobed organic pedestal base and the other a faceted goblet form. Also included are two faceted diamond-pattern lighters in transparent pink and deep ruby red, and one cylindrical ruby glass lighter with horizontal ringed banding. Each lighter is equipped with a chrome-plated metal insert. The metal thumb lever of each insert is stamped LITERALLY with the word JAPAN. A white rectangular adhesive label is attached to the metal neck of the pink faceted lighter, bearing the handwritten numerals 418. A similar white adhesive label is attached to the deep ruby red faceted lighter, bearing the handwritten characters MO 115. A small circular mark is visible on the side of the lever mechanism on the taller amberina lighter, but the characters within it are not legible.
