Ceramic match strike with 2 part sleeve gift box.
Crafted from porcelain with handpainted lines and accents, this unique reproduction French match strike or pyrogen is similar to antique originals found in French bistros during the 19th and early 20th century throughout France.
Back then, it was common to see a match strike sitting on a bistro or bar table for customers to use when preparing a drink such as absinthe during the Belle Époque.
The match strike had three objectives. First, the upper cylindrical container was used to hold the matches. Then the ridged surface on the side (or base) was used to strike and light the match. And finally, the play served as an advertising medium. Many distilleries used these match strikes to promote their liquor, and were usually provided to the bar for free.
The text around the Dicharry match strike reads as follows:
"Demandez toujours un Absinthe Dicharry"
which translates as:
"Always ask for an Absinthe Dicharry"
This match strike makes a beautiful addition to any home or a gift for a friend or relative who loves France and french interiors. Perhaps ornamental or as a useful item when lighting the fire or a candle.
Materials: Glazed porcelain
Size: 6.2 x 10cm
Please note: This is a reproduction item based on an antique design.
White-tip or "strike anywhere" matches are required for use.
Regular household kitchen matches will not light.
