Here is a 4"H amber glass toothpick holder in the design of a cat or kitten on a pillow lifting a sculpted toothpick holder. Original design from late 1800s, made by Richards and Hartley Glass of Tarentum PA









Love the overall design and suitable colour for this piece, cool !~
Very grateful for the love everyone thank you so much
Thanks for your super praise for this antique toothpick design Phil, it's very cute that someone thought of having a kitty holding up the cup (sorta like Atlas holding up the world lol). And I too love the amber glass, it's a very intense color & the sculpted design really enhances it
Thanks Bernard & Vet for the love, always much appreciated & glad you both liked this
Love it! Tarentum isn't too far from me.
Many thanks JB & vintagelamp for the love for all my posts today!
vintagelamp thanks for your great comment & your state Pennsylvania has had some fabulous glassmakers including this one, Westmoreland etc. I think it has something to do with the rivers right
