Know before you buy
No, the cloche is sold as a decorative vessel and does not include matches. It is specifically sized to accommodate 8-inch matches, which can be purchased separately.
The cloche includes a strike-on-bottle flint integrated into the design. You can strike your matches directly against the designated area on the glass surface.
Because this piece is hand-blown, it should be handled with care. To clean, gently wipe the exterior with a soft, dry cloth; avoid using harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers that could damage the matte finish.
Absolutely. The cloche is designed to be versatile and works beautifully as a display vessel for small curiosities, dried botanicals, or other tabletop specimens.
The cork stopper is designed for easy access at the base, providing a snug fit that keeps your matches contained and protected from dust while maintaining the piece's vintage aesthetic.
