TSUBOTA PEARL - Hard Edge Marble Sky Petrol Lighter
TSUBOTA PEARL - Hard Edge Marble Sky Petrol Lighter
Need a light? This luxe refillable petrol lighter is handcrafted by Tsubota Pearl from beginning to end in Tokyo.
Established in 1952 by Hiroshi Tsubota, Tsubota Pearl produces artisan metalwork with all components made in specialised workshops in and around the Asakusa area of Tokyo; known as Shitamachi. The 'Hard-edge Marble' model was introduced into Tsubota Pearl's collection in 2008. The soft cloud patterning on the body is spray-painted by hand in multiple layers using 'Floated' stencils, then polished to perfection. These mottled gradations are never exactly the same, and are unique to each lighter – creating depth and an interplay of color, light, and material. The lighter is as pleasurable to the eye as it is useful. Get lit :)
Crafted in Japan from polycarbonate, steel and cotton, it measures 60 x 35 x 15 mm. REFILLABLE. Fluid not included. See here some handy tutorials for maintenance of your Tsubota Pearl lighter.
