Ceramic Match Striker

Ceramic Match Striker

Fresh matches on top, spent ones below.

Have you ever wanted your matches out in a vessel instead of the box they came in? This one holds them in a cone at the top, heads up and ready. The bottom edge is unglazed, a band of gritty raw ceramic, so you strike the match on the piece itself, then drop it in the open bowl below once it's out. It works with strike-anywhere matches only, and fifteen come with it.

Each piece is wheel thrown by hand in Dover-Foxcroft, Maine, from regionally sourced stoneware and finished with hand-mixed glazes, so no two are identical.

How To Use

• Fill the top cone with strike-anywhere matches, heads up.
• Strike across the unglazed band at the bottom edge.
• Drop the spent match into the bowl below once it's fully out.
• Dishwasher safe. Keep out of reach of children.
