Matches, Match Holders and Spill Holders
In the days before striking matches were invented, paper was rolled and twisted into tiny bits called "spills" to light the fireplace, or to transfer a flame from one stove or fireplace to another. Small splinters of wood and slivers of curled wood shavings were also carefully collected and stored in Spill Holders on the mantel or hearth, kept handy at all times for lighting the fire. Spill holders resembled vases and were commonly made of earthenware, wood, glass or metal, but decorative glass spill holders were the most common from the 1850's to the mid-Victorian era when striking matches became affordable due to mass production.
Today, striking matches are inexpensive and readily available. Our long fireplace matches help keep your hands a safer distance from the fireplace and can be stored conveniently in any of our decorative match holders. For a different look in the off-season, try displaying your match holder with brightly colored paper spills to enhance your decor! Hand made paper spills accompanying a match holder and fireplace matches make a unique gift that you can make with your kids or grandkids, while sharing a bit of history with friends and visitors.
