Add a touch of whimsical charm to your décor with this vintage Japanese lusterware match holder, thoughtfully converted for practical use. The piece features a sweetly painted white polka dot dog pulling a cart with bright orange wheels and a heart-shaped match strike pad.
Originally crafted as decorative lusterware, this piece has been updated to function as a stylish match holder, blending nostalgic artistry with contemporary utility. The hand-painted details in vivid hues of orange, red, and cobalt blue highlight the playful design, a hallmark of Japanese lusterware’s appeal to Western markets in the 1920s–1940s.
A collectible that balances form and function, this piece brings cheerful vintage character to mantels, kitchens, or display shelves. This would make a lovely gift for the upcoming holidays and comes with yellow matches and extra strike pads.
