Hand-thrown in my Brooklyn studio, this ceramic match striker jar is both a practical tool and a subtle accent piece.
Each jar features a double striking surface: the unglazed colored slip stripes carved into the body offer a textured surface for strike-anywhere matches, while a second striking surface hidden inside the lid works with regular kitchen matches.
Matches store safely inside, and the small handle formed by dots of colored clay makes the lid easy to lift.
The piece balances smooth, creamy porcelain clay with the tactile texture of unglazed colored slip, adding visual interest and a satisfying feel in the hand.
Beyond matches, these small vessels can also hold toothpicks, hairpins, spices, or paper clips —simple objects that deserve a considered home.
