Match Strikers

$30.00

Some objects arrive in your life with no intention of blending in.
They sit on the mantle, small and self-assured, radiating the quiet confidence of someone who knows how to start a fire in the rain.

These match strikers—each a palm-sized stoneware vessel with the demeanor of an ancient artifact and the usefulness of a Swiss Army knife—belong to that category. They look as though they’ve been gathered from outposts along the Silk Road: squat, rounded, earthy, and unmistakably purposeful.

Their glazes read like a traveler’s map of color:
• Deep indigo, the hue of a desert sky moments before the constellations declare themselves.
• Moss green, like the hidden spring where caravan guides refill their flasks.
• Warm, toasted brown—the color of stories told around a campfire.
• Soft white, calm as monastery walls at dawn.
• Ocean blue, flecked with secrets of storms survived.

A bundle of matches rests in each little pot, heads tipped in sage green like a cluster of alpine wildflowers. Strike the match along the textured clay rim—shhhk—and a spark leaps to life, as if delighted to be summoned in such elegant company.

Perfect for candles, fireplaces, incense, the occasional power outage, or the moment when someone says, “Do you have a light?” and you finally get to say, “As a matter of fact… yes.”

The Match Strikers.
For those who believe that even the smallest flame deserves a beautiful beginning.
