Match striker in Slate

: : Free Shipping in the US : :

Handmade ceramic match striker.

Hand thrown on a potter's wheel, in a reddish brown clay and glazed in Slate.

The lower half of the jar has been trimmed with a textured ribbed pattern to provide a rough surface for better striking. Clay color may vary slightly.

Due to the handmade nature of these jars, sizes will vary somewhat. Please send me a message if you need precise measurements.

Approx size 2-2.25” wide x 2-2.25” tall
*Intended to fit larger 2.25" long matches.

Sold individually.

DISCLAIMER:

These match strikers are intended for use with self igniting "strike anywhere" matches. They just need friction to work. The ceramic jar merely provides a surface for this friction. The bottom half of the jar has been left unglazed to provide a rough surface for striking your match. Safety matches will not work.

Also, please be aware, just like when you strike a match on the box, it will leave a mark. If you are very particular with leaving marks on your match striker, another option would be to strike the match on the underside or simply use the box the matches came in.

For best results use the larger 2.25" long matches and keep the unglazed part of the jar dry and grease free. Please feel free to reach out if you need help using your striker.

Paulova ceramics are entirely handmade. Slight variations in glaze, size and surface texture are to be expected. If you are very particular about exact size, color, or perfection, feel free to contact me before placing an order.
