PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING CAREFULLY BEFORE PURCHASE:

These match strikers are intended for use with "strike anywhere" matches. The bottom half of the jar has been left unglazed to provide a rough surface for striking your match. Safety matches will not work. These type of matches will not ignite when striking on ceramic since clay does not contain the combustible materials needed to ignite a match. Also, please be aware, just like when you strike a match on the box, it will leave a mark. If you are very particular with leaving marks on your match striker, another option would be to strike the match on the underside or simply use the box the matches came in.

DISCLAIMER:

Strike anywhere matches are self igniting matches. They just need friction to work. The ceramic jar merely provides a surface for this friction. If your matches fail to ignite, you would need to contact the supplier of your matches.

For best results use the larger 2.25" long matches and keep the unglazed part of the jar dry and grease free.

Paulova ceramics are entirely handmade. Slight variations in glaze, size and surface texture are to be expected. If you are very particular about exact size, color, or perfection, feel free to contact me before placing an order.

All sales for match strikers are final.
