Title: Pink satin glass toothpick holder (?)
Post by: nastina.nastea on December 19, 2022, 07:31:05 PM: Hello!
I've found a wonderful piece and I'm struggling with its identification: it is a footed pink satin glass toothpick/matches holder (I'm not sure), approx 3" high. There is a genie, or some kind of idol face and wheat (?) pattern on it. I was trying to find something similar, but, unfortunately, without any result.
If anyone could help me with this, I would really appreciate! :)

Thank you!

It’s an old website but very helpful, it’s either Portieux Vallerysthal or SV (Schmid Verreries à Vannes-le-Châtel). I think yours is SV.
C1900.
