Made by the Tarentum Glass Company of Tarentum PA circa 1899, this TP - custard toothpick holder in the what has been known as the Harvard pattern is a souvenir of North Troy Vermont. In addition it has the name Kelly on it so a personalized souvenir. According to page 177 of the Bredehoft book, the original name of this pattern was the Columbia. It is 2 1/4 inches tall x 2 inches wide. They value the custard or ivory toothpick holder at $80. I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP.

David Salazar got his start with the Zephyr Studios before working at Lundberg Glass Studios in the early 1970s and went out on his own around 1983. He is particularly well known for his Moon & Star pattern as well as his paperweights and marbles. This example is signed and dated 8-13 Salazar. This toothpick holder stands 2 5/8 inches tall and is 1 15/16 inches across the top rim. The base glass is cobalt but it has been sprayed with mineral salts in the tradition of Art Nouveau Tiffany or Steuben glass. The resulting surface has overtones of purple, blue, rose and gold. The design harkens back to the Art Nouveau period as it features five blossoms and vines. The blossoms are done in a purple glass with white highlights. The vines move diagonally across the surface giving this glass great movement. It is in excellent condition. A great example of great glass by a great contemporary glass artist. I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP.

It has what is known as a Lazy Amberina portion wherein the division between the amber glass and the heat-sensitive red glass is not delineated neatly but flows further down on one side than the other. The color is a deeper brownish amber than what Phoenix Glass company produced. As well, the foot does not have the continuation of the optic pattern of the body. It is my best guess that this piece is of European origin, most likely English or French. In any case, it is a beautiful piece of Victorian art glass. The holder is in excellent condition with no chip, flakes, or cracks. There are some small bubbles in the glass body but it was manufactured that way.

This is more likely the individual sugar as the toothpick is slightly narrower, however, it is collected as a toothpick member by our club. It is the Ring & Beads pattern of Jefferson, produced from 1910-1913 at the Follansbee, West Virginia plant, according to Bob Davis, who values it at $60 in this handout given at the 2007 NTHCS convention. Excellent condition with good gold at top and lettering. I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP.
