The Nutcracker Ceramic Matchbox

A very special matchbox for Christmas. The Nutcracker. 

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:

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. 

DETAILS

Ceramic artwork made by hand in Stoke-on-Trent 

Dimensions 10cm x 6.5cm x 3cm

Matchbox card case made in England

Matches were sourced sustainably from Sweden.

Each ceramic piece is handmade with care, and as our glazes react uniquely in the kiln, delicate crackles may appear - an entirely natural and beautiful hallmark of the firing process.
