Café Paris Porcelain Match Strike

Editor's Notes A unique reproduction of a 19th century French pyrogène from Bonnecaze Absinthe & Home. Commonly found on a bistro table or bar throughout late 19th and early 20th century, a match strike traditionally served three purposes – to hold and ignite the matches and as an advertising tool for alcohol brands. Crafted from white porcelain with hand-painted lines and accents, this objet d'art flawlessly recalls the antique Café Paris original – fill the top with matches or toothpicks and display alongside other period pieces for a vintage-inspired curation.
