Antique Porcelain Burnt Match Holder w Chain for Hanging Oil Lamp Gilded Leaves

Description

I love to find these old match holders—relics from a long ago past that make me feel nostalgic! Here we have a lovely antique burnt match holder for a hanging oil lamp. Can you see it in an old west setting, hung from under the ol’ parlor lamp? This petite example has a little acorn shaped bowl that measures about 2” in diameter by 1 3/4” long. It is suspended from three molded loops through which is threaded three 8” long age darkened brass chains, with a hanging ring at the top. The little white porcelain pot is decorated with gilding, including three stylized leaves on the sides. It made a handy repository for collecting your burnt matches until they could be safely thrown out. The match holder is in very good condition!
