Know before you buy
You must use 'strike-anywhere' matches for this product to function. Standard safety matches, which require a specific phosphorus strip on the box, will not ignite on the ceramic surface.
The striker is designed to be functional on both the side and the bottom of the ceramic vessel. You may find one surface provides a better grip or friction depending on the specific match brand you choose.
The glaze is durable, but repeated striking may leave faint marks or residue on the ceramic surface over time. This is a natural characteristic of using a ceramic striker and generally adds to the piece's lived-in, artisanal aesthetic.
You can wipe the exterior with a soft, damp cloth to remove any dust or match residue. Avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these could damage the matte or speckled glaze finish.
Yes, the ceramic base is smooth and finished, making it safe for most surfaces. However, as with any decorative object, we recommend using a coaster if you are concerned about potential scratching on delicate wood or glass surfaces.
