Here is the lighter with Janikl and another unidentified, slightly larger tealight holder.

Mine doesn't have the corners chipped off. But it is interesting to know they were a popular design. When you look at them closely there is a lot of work gone into the cutting. not only is each surface beveled out, each edge is beveled and each corner is polished off to remove the points.

Ivo,  I wonder if the design was made in different places?

I did think of that but I didn't want to sound rude.

I must say, in reality the difference between the 3 in the photo is not as stark as it is when you handle them.

Just to confuse things further... Been to a flea-market in Belgium on Friday where I
saw this design with a VSL label...  :-\

Just seen one in green on facebook and the poster says it has "KJ genuine cut crystal" label. A google image search returns no results.
