Product Description

 This Belle Époque France  ceramic match striker once rested on the zinc countertops of Parisian cafés where absinthe flowed and conversation lingered. Its deep navy glaze, softened by time, frames white lettering that advertised the green fairy and her favored distillers, including the storied houses of Samson and Gaillard. It is an object made for ritual and reflection, a small but essential part of the theatre of daily life in the era of Toulouse-Lautrec and Verlaine. With its worn surface and generous proportions, this match striker carries the memory of flickering flames and the quiet moments they once lit. A poetic accent for a writing desk or bar, it speaks to a time when utility was never without elegance.
