Toothpick Holder Identification
« on: July 26, 2014, 02:57:22 AM »
Can anyone provide information on this toothpick holder?  It is a lovely amber color with a lot of opalescence.  The white enamel decoration is quite heavy, even though the pattern is quite detailed and delicate.  Someone suggested that it might be Salviati.  Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Judy - welcome to the GMB. I think your advisor was correct and your thimble is by Salviati. I have three similar, and I know there are several collectors here who own one.
Somewhere on this board there is a discussion on these delicate items.
