these small examples of hand patterned items appear to have been called Beggar's Hand Tooth Pic Holders - and although these were originally French patterns, this ruby might indicate a more modern factory and other than French - just my opinion however. :)

thanks paul pointing me in the right direction at least now i can see some similar pieces. thought it was an egg cup at first but would have had to be a duck egg.
