Signed Et. Pulhofer MCM Frosted Table Lighter- Brutalist Art Glass

This sculptural piece features a precision-cut cube of optical-grade crystal, frosted on the outside with deeply recessed circular lenses on all four sides. The insert is a sleek, chrome-tone lighter, reminiscent of Ronson-style mechanisms. The bottom is hand-signed Et. Pulhofer, a known but elusive figure in postwar European decorative arts. Pulhofers work reflects the bold minimalism of the Brutalist movement, and this piece doubles as both a functional lighter and a collector-worthy art object. Rare and hard to find, especially signed, this piece makes a powerful addition to any: Mid-century modern collection Brutalist or Bauhaus-inspired interior High-end vintage desk or bar display Glass or industrial design enthusiasts trove Details: Artist: Et. Pulhofer (hand-signed) Origin: Likely West Germany or Austria Era: Circa 1960s1980s Material: Frosted metal insert No chips or cracks. Mechanical piece needs flint.
