Ceramic Matchstick Holder

Bring functional beauty into your home with this handcrafted Ceramic Matchstick Holder, made by the artisans of Miujiza in Kenya. Each piece is shaped and glazed by hand, designed with a built-in striker on the bottom so you can easily light your matches whenever you need a warm glow.

Perfect beside your favorite candle, this little holder keeps matches tidy and accessible. It’s also a versatile vessel—use it to store toothpicks, cotton swabs, or other small household essentials with a touch of artisan charm.

Always strike matches away from the opening of the holder, and keep a lit match at a safe distance from the unlit matches inside. Because each holder is individually handmade, slight variations in size and shape are to be expected.

ABOUT THE ARTISAN

Miujiza, meaning miracle in Swahili, is a Mercy House Global artisan group that embodies miraculous transformations. Made up mostly of the grandmothers of the teen moms at our Rehema House maternity homes in Kenya, these women have become highly skilled weavers. Their work is a testament to breaking the cycle of generational poverty from grandmother to teen mother to baby. Just as the fibers of this blanket are intricately laced together, your support is woven into their redemption story, making it a true work of art.
