Found in Paris this authentic red on white matchstriker or pyrogène which has had a long life on a bar, advertising Cassis, will make a lovely addition to your home or collection. It has the maker of the cassis's name, Royer-Hutin and an attractive red star. Cassis is the blackcurrent liqueur used in the famous French drink, kir)
 
It has some minor signs of wear, the striking ridges were full of the residue of use, I have removed the decades of grime,  but left a slight (clean) residue as a part of its story. The decorative gold rim has some light rubbing.
 
The pyrogène was made in Aix en Provence, stamped on the base and measures 3.5" high
