ABOUT PRODUCTID 20388
This Art Nouveau toothpick holder, dating from around 1900 and attributed to the Kölner Werkstatte in Cologne, features a cylindrical body measuring 10 cm in length and 3 cm in diameter. The body is crafted from clear, cool-toned crystal glass, polished to a high gloss that accentuates its transparency and reflective qualities. Two symmetrical, shallow concave indentations in the central part of the cylinder facilitate ergonomic access to the contents. Both ends are capped with silver-plated metal fittings finished to a mirror shine, reinforcing the structure and adding a decorative accent.

The condition is very good, with no chips, cracks, or signs of significant use.This small object embodies the spirit of a time when everyday table accessories carried the ambition of modernity and artisanal excellence. The transparent glass reflects light like a sheet of ice, while the cool gleam of the silver-plated fittings evokes the ambience of the fin de siècle—an era when applied arts aspired to
