SAMPLE - The Empress Ceramic Matchbox

A tiny piece of ceramic ended up sticking to the glaze as she went into the kiln - it almost feels like part of the piece. See photos.

The ceramic artwork sits atop a luxury card case with striker strip. Each box contains 40 peach coloured extra long safety matches.

Jo hopes that this box forms part of your everyday treasure. And brings you joy for many years to come.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS:

Shipping safety matches outside of the UK is exceptionally tricky. If you are an overseas customer, please do email us at jo@jolaing.com, so we can check if shipping restrictions are in place.

Due to regulations, we are unable to ship matchboxes, matchsticks or striker strips to UAE, New Zealand or Australia.

ART

We are thrilled to offer affordable global shipping for both unframed and framed art. 

Our expert framers have a distinguished history of carpentry and woodworking skills. Your frames will be made bespoke, to order and be of the very best quality. We also use a very high-end acrylic, rather than glass. While acrylic is the same weight and look and feel as glass, it is practically unbreakable, not only making it a far superior choice for shipping, but much safer to hang on the wall of any nursery.

Outside of London, we work with premium printing and framing hubs internationally. Your order will be produced and shipped from the closet facility, making delivery fast and affordable!
