Cigar lighter
by JENSEN, Georg, Silver, lapis lazuli, height 17 cm
Hand raised and hand chased, this cigar lighter exemplifies the fluid organic arts and crafts design that made Jensen famous. On an oval-shaped platform supported by four ball feet, a pedestal formed like an opening blossom holds a bulb-shaped centre fuel holding section. The wick is hidden by a cover with four strands of berries flowing down the sides topped with a lapis lazuli bead finial.
