Skeem - Large Fireplace Match Cloche in Violet

This vessel shape was originally discovered in Japan and it wasn't certain what it was for, it was perfect. It's large enough to hold the best-selling 8" matches and has a sophisticated colour palette. Each piece is hand blown and fitted with a cork stopper in the bottom. It's reminiscent of a vintage glass cloche, originally used to protect emerging seedlings in gardens. Once the matches are gone, it can be a curiosity used to display a found specimen.
