Toothpick Holder 1884 - 1893

This dark, hand-blown glass Toothpick Holder was made by the New England Glass Company between 1884 and 1893. It's a clear example of American glassblowing in the late 19th century, featuring a distinctive, repeating diamond pattern pressed into the surface. The holder's simple, functional design and its dark glass hue make it an intriguing piece of American glassmaking history. The Toothpick Holder can be seen at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York City.
