Featured Stretch Glass Cased Toothpick - Maker?

Hello Everyone! Does anyone know who might have made this toothpick. It measures 2 1/2" tall. No signature anywhere. Not sure if it's new Chinese or perhaps an older piece. I bought it with a lot containing three cut glass toothpicks in case that information is helpful to anybody. Thank you for whatever information you can provide.

LOVE IT .. LOVE THE COLOUR TOO !!! ... Joy.

 

wow - how pretty!

 

Is this an Americanism? I'd call it a toothpick holder

 

@dgbjwc was asking for maker, I think, @afantiques

 

Toothpick, Toothpick holder. To collectors, the two are synonymous.

The authors of the best book on Toothpick holders had a photograph of that one, but no data and it wasn't their photo so they didn't publish anything about it. There is illustrated a similar one, without the lobes, attributed to Kralik. It, however is dark, nearly black.

 

Thank you for the information, Cherryhill!

My toothpick holder that sits on my desk is a 2" high little brown mug, nothing near like the little beauty that you've shown here .. it's LOVELY !! ... Joy.

 

@TallCakes !!

 

Tom (Cherryhill) would be the one 'in the know' on this subject; after all he wrote the book...
perhaps you could contact the toothpick society at their website or facebook group:

The first thing that leaped into my head was Poschinger Glass early 1970s. But that's just a guess. It's beautiful.

 

Searched Poschinger Glass toothpick and found one on Flicker

I can't streamline screens hots etc on my new phone, yet, but: shape is slightly different, color is equally beautiful
