Toothpick Holder 1885 - 1888

This Toothpick Holder, created between 1885 and 1888 by the Richards and Hartley Flint Glass Co., is a fine example of American glassmaking in the late 19th century. Its clear glass body is adorned with a distinctive pattern of raised, circular bumps, known as "Hobnail" glass. The holder's simple yet elegant design, showcasing the beauty of the glass itself, was a popular choice for Victorian households and continues to be admired today.
