Wouldn't this look nice next to the Trudon Salta candle I might buy? The Skeem Match Cloche: "We discovered this vessel shape in Japan and while we weren’t certain what it was for, we knew it was perfect for us. The original was tiny and clear so we made it large enough to hold our best-selling 4" matches and updated it in this sophisticated color palette. Each piece is hand blown and fitted with a cork stopper in the bottom. It reminds us 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." $30, shown in Violet, also sold in Smoke, Sky and Moss.
