If you have not lighter and no matches, you can use potassium permanganate (KMnO4) and glycerine, both are available in drugstores and pharmacies.
Place ~2 g KMnO4 on a piece of broken china and drip some drops of glycerine on it. After some 10 seconds or so a very hot flame will appear, almost like a welding flame. Be careful and wear safety goggles please.
