Description
A superior and rather rare silver mounted match striker, from the closing years of the Victorian era. This unusual example is of good quality cut glass, with a deep striker band around the outside edge and a reservoire for spent matches. Unusually, the silver extends into the match holding area, denoting a quality piece. A wonderful and decorative collector's piece, suitable for cocktail sticks as an alternative use.
