Standing 2 1/8 inches tall, this cylindrical toothpick holder was made in 1994 by the Lotton Glass Company, most likely by David Lotton. It is signed Lotton 1994. The base glass is cobalt and the pulled decoration looks like a silver glass which was then iridized. It is a stunning piece of contemporary American art glass by a glass master.
