This cute little jar was one from my mom in law. It has a pattern on it similar to coin dot from pictures I have seen online, but I don't really know what coin dot is....so not sure. The dots or holes are large enough to put your finger in and are actual indentions in the glass and there is a zig zag pattern above and below the circles. It measures roughly 2-1/2" tall and 8-1/4" around the dots. Pretty star pattern on the bottom. Any help would be so appreciated!
this toothpick holder is the 'King's Crown' pattern and possibly a Tiffin reproduction; originally made by Adam's & Co. c1890 and called Excelsior (X.L.C.R.).
A toothpick holder....cool! Thanks so much TallCakes! I don't know much about glassware, but I believe this was given to my mother in law (born 1926) by her mother. I will try to look up the pattern and see what else I can find out!
Thanks for the love aghcollect!
Thanks for the love nutsabotas6!
given that date, it may be a ruby stained original from Adams.
Wow TallCakes! Is there a way I can tell the difference? I do see a shimmery effect when the red hits light. Is that any clue?
Thanks so much nutsabotas6! I am so glad TallCakes was able to help!
TallCakes i just found out from my husband that his mom did actually use it for toothpicks! Lol
I'd lean towards this being Adams considering the provenance and ruby stain.
Thank you so much for your help TallCakes! I really appreciate you takin the time to explain it to me :)
