Decorative glass bottle filled with colourful matches
Matches in a bottle offer a charming alternative to the traditional matchbox. Instead of hiding matches in a drawer, this small glass bottle turns them into something decorative that deserves to be seen.
The clear bottle features a vintage stamp-inspired label with a goldfish swimming beneath the water and the words “Goldfish Matches.” Because of this nostalgic design, the bottle feels reminiscent of old apothecary jars or curiosity cabinets.
Inside the bottle you will find 150 colourful matches, each measuring 10 cm in length. They are easy to remove one by one, while the glass bottle keeps them neatly stored and visible at the same time.
Even more practical, the base of the bottle works as the striking surface. Simply take out a match, strike it gently on the bottom and light your candle or lantern. As a result, these matches in a bottle combine decoration and everyday functionality.
Placed on a kitchen shelf, bathroom ledge or coffee table, the bottle becomes a small styling detail that adds personality to a space. It pairs beautifully with candles, lanterns and evening rituals at home.
When the bottle opens, the red dyed matchsticks with white tips create a vibrant contrast against the clear glass. This subtle detail adds to the playful character of the design.
The labels are digitally printed and die-cut in Scotland, while the bottle itself is made in the UK. Together they create a distinctive object that feels thoughtfully crafted.
For candle lovers or design enthusiasts, these matches in a bottle make a small but memorable gift.
