Late 19th C. Porcelain Match Holder/Striker Match strikers or holders as they were often called, were popular from the late 19th century to about the 1930's. This unusual match striker is in the form of a mother bear (or perhaps a pig?) rocking her cub in a cradle. Made of porcelain the front of the cradle bears the impressed inscription: Husha-bye-baby-dont-you-cry. You'll-be'a-sausage-bye'-and-bye'. Striking surface on sides & at back of cradle; unclear impressed mark on reverse of cradle (mark too filled with glaze to be clearly read). Most ceramic strikers were made in Staffordshire England or Germany. Although the country of origin of this one is unkown, given the fact that it is porcelain and a good portion of Staffordshire's output was pottery, this one is most likely German.

Note: I've seen quite a few match strikers, but this one is the most unusual I have come across; Guaranteed to be a period piece, not a reproduction!

Condition: excellant; no chips or cracks; some rubbing to cold paint on bears ears.
