The Mazzi Roseart Table Lighter
It was the Zippo/Case International Swap Meet 2000. While browsing the collector’s tables, Ralph stumbled across Claudio Mazzi hard at work on a masterpiece. Intrigued by his artwork, Ralph asked Claudio if he would do something on a Roseart Table lighter for him. Claudio said let me take a look at the surface of the table lighter. Ralph ran down to Roseart and got a 1959 3 ½” Fibron Table lighter to show Claudio. He agreed to paint a portrait of Ralph and Judy on the table lighter and took it back to Italy with him. A few months later, Ralph received in the mail the completed Roseart with the portrait.
“We are thrilled to have this Claudio Mazzi original in our possession.” said Ralph. He hopes to have Claudio do additional Roseart’s in the future. Since that time we have obtained a number of Claudio’s Zippo lighters to add to the collection.
Thank you Claudio! We are very proud of our association with the Mazzi name.
