Strike!
Set out a match striker next to your favorite candle and never fumble around for a light again. With 11 styles to choose from, there’s a shape for everyone—the rough, unglazed lower half of each stoneware pot provides the perfect place to strike your match. Or stick a few small wildflowers in one, and you’ve got yourself a bedside table flower arrangement!
Striker is only compatible with strike-anywhere matches. 1 small pack is included.

Doesn’t work
I wanted this for quite some time but was a bit disappointed when I finally got it. Of course it’s gorgeous, like all FHP, however it’s nearly impossible to actually light matches on it. I’m going to try one of the $20 Etsy or amazon ones that look similar next.
Gorgeous and Functional
I've been buying from Farmhouse Pottery for years now, you cannot go wrong with any of their products. I purchased this as a gift for my candle addicted mother and she loved it. You might think to yourself "Do I really need to spend money on a match jar?". The answer is "Why not have nice things to accompany your other nice things? My nice things deserve accessories." and you buy it.
Quarantine is hard, just buy the match jar.
Beautiful Piece
I crushed on this piece for quite a while before I finally hit the bullet and bought it. It is so gorgeous, and quite the conversation starter. The only problem is that the matches don’t strike easily at all. Maybe 1 out of every 10 actually lights ... so it’s more of a beautiful piece than a functional one. But it’s seriously pretty
