About the Item
XL Balthazar-Inspired Ceramic Matchbox
An oversized matchbox handcrafted in stoneware, paying homage to the iconic branding of New York City's legendary Balthazar Restaurant. This functional sculpture represents the largest matchbox created to date by Catie Curry Ceramics, transforming an everyday object into a statement piece that bridges utility and art.
Measuring approximately 9" x 6" x 4", this substantial piece commands attention on any mantelpiece, coffee table, or bookshelf. The generous scale isn't just for show—it comes complete with a custom ceramic insert and real matches, making it genuinely functional for lighting fireplaces, reaching the bottom of nearly-spent candles, or keeping matches elegantly accessible for whenever you need them.
The design faithfully recreates the distinctive matchbox aesthetic that has become synonymous with Balthazar's Parisian brasserie charm, translating the familiar graphics into a three-dimensional ceramic form. Each piece is individually crafted, resulting in subtle variations that make every matchbox unique. The durable ceramic construction ensures this conversation-starting piece will be a lasting addition to your home, whether you're a Balthazar devotee, a collector of distinctive ceramics, or someone who appreciates functional art that elevates the everyday into something extraordinary.
