The Empress Ceramic Matchbox

The Empress features a beautiful mermaid sitting atop a rock. She represents newness and creation: a new life, business, relationship or adventure.

The limited edition design has been meticulously made by hand, and each unique box is signed and numbered. 

The ceramic artwork sits atop a luxury card case with striker strip. Each box contains 40 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:

DELIVERY

PERSONALISED STATIONERY

We work with a wonderful family run print studio to produce your personalised cards. Please allow 7-10 working days for from order, to dispatch. In addition the run up to the festive period becomes exceptionally busy, so do allow up to 14 day.

CERAMICS AND GREETING CARDS

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!  

DUTIES & CUSTOMS CHARGES

Please be aware that post-Brexit, import duties and customs charges are applied upon entry to EU countries..
