Handpainted Match Holder with Striker
We suspect that this was designed to hold loose cigarette (larger vessel) and loose matches (smaller vessel). Beautiful handpainted floral detail, boat-shaped tray, and finger ring for easy offering/serving. The base is unglazed and can serve as a (working!) match striker (using “strike anywhere” matches). Unsigned. Great condition with a small chip on tip of trat, as shown.
Dimensions [tray is 7” long x 3.75” across x .25” deep; larger holder is 1.75” high and smaller is 1” high]
