This is a Murano Art Glass Tooth pick holder with Applied Amber Scrolled Feet, Rim Leafs and Blue Applied Glass Berries! This is a Sweet little piece, and is definitely a instant favorite of mine! Even though its only 40 - 50 years old I believe its a terrific piece and the scrolled feet remind me of something from Nightmare before Christmas! Thanks for Looking!

really? it awesome and stunning , i love it :) your very luckY:)
Sweet tooth pick Shawn !!
I agree Sean! and Thanks Hedge :)
Another pretty piece!.. Merry Christmas Shawnl86.....:-)
pretty! but it looks more stourbridge to me than murano, and possibly a bit older.
Thanks Inky, Merry Christmas to you too! :)
and are you sure MacArt? I swear ive seen several similar pieces in various shapes attributed to Murano, if you can find a website that shows alittle more information I Would appreciate it!
You can just google burmese glass or stourbrige applied glass and You will find something that is close enough :)
either way it might be murano too because glass factories there imitated or got inspired by probably every possible type of glass from every corner of the world :D
I don't know if it could be American... Fenton too made burmese glass, so these are the options, maybe someone more glass educated will correct me, but in the meantime You can search in those directions.
Thanks Mac! That is very true, because I actually have a Murano Glass Cruet which was actually made to look older then it actually makes a lot of sense! Honestly Im going to stick with my gut feeling that this is a Murano piece :}
It is a very special piece regardless of who made it. I am new on this site and thrilled to have found it. Hi, everyone! I look forward to learning from you.
Well Madkat I appreciate the special input as well! Best of luck on your learning, this really is a great place if your interested in learning about not only antique glass but all sorts of antiques!
