Manhattan Match Striker in Bourgeois Black
The Manhattan Match Striker is a black stoneware match striker that makes lighting up feel like the best part of the sesh. Designed to display, built to perform.
Who It's For
The smoker who thinks lighting up is an integral part of their ritual, not just the start of it.
How It Works
Two ways to strike, one striking design. Strike your match on the plate underneath or go rogue with strike-anywhere matches on the unglazed base. Approximately 2.13" high x 1.25" diameter, slight variations show the artist's hand. Color-coordinated safety matches and replacement striking plate included.
Color Story
This black is called Bourgeois Black, named for sculptor and painter Louise Bourgeois. She went straight at the darkest parts of human experience: trauma, family, sexuality, feminism. And somehow made them beautiful. Her most famous sculpture is a massive spider she named after her mother. Black, in her hands, was never just a color. It was a position. It's one of 9 colors the Manhattan Match Striker comes in.
Care
The Manhattan Match Striker is made from stoneware with a food-safe glaze. Hand wash only. Replace it if any cracks or crazing develop over time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Our Manhattan Match Striker gives you two ways to get lit, depending on your style. Our holder comes loaded with safety matches, which are the most widely available type and can only be ignited against a phosphorus surface. To light safety matches, strike them against the phosphorus dot on the bottom of our holder. Or, if you prefer to use strike-anywhere matches, light those by striking them against the unglazed surface at the bottom of our holder. Either way, you have a chic, functional lighter alternative.
When the original striking plate wears down on our Manhattan Match Striker, simply peel it off and clean off any glue residue from the surface. Then peel and stick the included replacement plate into place. This quick swap will keep your match striker looking and functioning like new.
Hemp wick is a cleaner, more mindful way to light your blend. Standard matches contain phosphorus and most lighters run on butane. So, you don’t want to inhale those chemicals every time you light up. Hemp wick also burns at a significantly lower temperature than either of them. A lower burn temp allows for more precise lighting and a more even, efficient burn. That way, you’re not wasting your blend by burning it up before you can smoke it.
