Match Striker Vintage White Ironstone | French Ribbed Pyrogene
Elevate your everyday routines with this charming French match striker vintage—a stylish solution to keep your matches at the ready, adding warmth and function to any tabletop or vignette.
About This Piece
This vintage white ironstone match striker is a petite, chubby ribbed form commonly referred to as a pyrogène in France. Traditionally used in cafes and homes to store matches and provide a striking surface, it now makes an excellent decorative accent with utilitarian flair.
Charming French Provenance
Found in a flea market in southern France, this piece showcases subtle aging and a gently timeworn surface that speaks to its story and authenticity. While unmarked by a maker, it boasts all the charm of traditional French ceramics from the early to mid-20th century.
Functional & Decorative
Use it to strike matches for candles, fireplaces, or incense—or simply display it on a shelf or coffee table. Its white glaze and ribbed surface blend seamlessly into vintage, cottage, or minimalist decor. Compact but impactful, this is a timeless collectible.
