These versatile items have a multitude of functions: from ornamental paperweights to vesta boxes.
Match strikers serve as compact devices designed to hold matches securely and facilitate the striking process for lighting various items like candles, cigarettes, and cigars.
Before safety matches became widely available, matches were often made using materials that could ignite easily, posing a fire hazard. The introduction of match strikers addressed this concern by offering a secure and convenient method for igniting matches safely.
Distinguished by their craftsmanship and dual functionality, many antique match strikers were crafted from materials such as porcelain, glass, and metal. These artifacts were not merely utilitarian but also ornamental, featuring intricate designs and patterns. Standalone match strikers were common, while others were seamlessly incorporated into larger objects like candle holders or boxes.
