This metal matchbox feels like something you weren’t meant to hold — a relic that breathes hunger more than flame.
The lid slides open with a soft click, and the top is sculpted from polymer clay, sealed in thick, glossy UV resin that makes it look painfully alive. A wide mouth stretches across the surface, wet and shining, packed with razor-like teeth — the kind of smile that’s too sharp to be friendly.
Deep in the darkness between those teeth, a single red eye watches from the throat — glowing like a swallowed secret. It’s not frightened. It’s waiting.
The back of the case works as a strike surface, so you can light a match directly on the box.
It arrives empty (no matches included), ready for your own ritual — sparking a candle, a sigil, a quiet moment of power, or just the pleasure of carrying something strange and alive in your pocket.
Every detail is handmade — sculpted, glazed, and sealed — so each mouth feels unique: the gloss, the fang patterns, the depth of the gaze.
