Cowboy Rattlesnake Ceramic Match Holder & Striker
The Cowboy Snake That Guards Your Matches
Handmade ceramic match holder — with a striker built right into his hat.
Meet the tiniest cowboy on your mantel. This handmade ceramic rattlesnake holds a bundle of long matches in his coiled body, keeps one ready in his mouth, and wears his striker on his hat — so you stop hunting for a working lighter or a missing matchbox strip. Equal parts functional and shelf-worthy, he lives right beside your candles, incense or fireplace.

- Textured strike patch built into the cowboy hat brim
- Coiled body holds a bundle of long matches; one rests in his mouth

- Warm honey-brown glaze as pictured;
- An excellent gift that adds a touch of playful Western flair to an entryway, bookshelf, or dining table.
The little things that ruin a cozy night in
The lighters disappear. The matchbox strip wears out. The matches end up at the bottom of a drawer. None of it is nice to leave out.
Tired of hunting for a light?
Holder, matches and striker in one piece — so the thing that lights your candles always lives right next to them.
Strike right on his hat
The textured patch under the cowboy hat brim is your striker. Pull a match, give it one firm quick stroke away from your body, and light.
The strike patch lives on the brim — so it can never go missing.
Holds a bundle. Keeps one ready.
His coil holds a tidy bundle of long matches, and his mouth keeps one waiting — grab, strike, light. No more loose matches rolling around the drawer.
Long matches included
A starter bundle of long wooden matches is included, so he works the moment he arrives. Refills are standard long matches from any grocery or hardware store.

The little light that lives by your candles
Long matches reach deep jar candles without roasting your knuckles — and the holder looks far better than a disposable lighter next to your favorites. Keep one wherever you always reach for a match.
Candles. Incense. Fireplace. Fire pit.
From the mantel to the fire pit, he keeps long matches ready wherever you strike a flame — and long matches keep your fingers a comfortable distance from it.
Useful enough for the mantel. Cute enough for the shelf.
Most fire-starting tools hide in a drawer. This one earns its spot on the shelf — western charm that actually does something.
Handmade, glazed & fired in small batches
Each snake is hand-built, glazed and fired in small batches. Expect small variations in glaze and shape — they are part of the piece, not a defect.
A tiny cowboy makes a memorable gift
A small-batch, slightly ridiculous, genuinely useful gift for candle people, new homeowners and white-elephant exchanges — easy on the budget and impossible to forget.

Good to know
Does it come with matches?
Yes — a starter bundle of long wooden matches is included. Refills are standard long matches available at most grocery and hardware stores.
How do I strike the matches?
The textured patch on the underside of the cowboy hat brim is the strike surface. Pull a match from the coil, give it one firm quick stroke across the patch away from your body, then light your candle.
What kind of matches work best?
Standard long wooden matches. Keep the strike patch clean and dry for a consistent light.
Is every snake identical?
No. Each one is handmade, glazed and fired in small batches, so glaze and small shape details vary slightly — that variation is part of the piece.
Bring the little cowboy home
He keeps your matches tidy, your striker close, and your mantel a little more charming.
