Antique Atterbury “Bees On A Basket” Custard Glass Toothpick Holder

Description

Selling off some of my collectibles.  Here is a toothpick holder called “3 Bees on a Basket” and dates from the late 1800’s.  Done in a light blue milk glass, and the raised bees are accented with a gold wash body and lavender wings.  The lavender shows some minor loss.  It stands 2-3/8” tall and 2-1/8” square around the top.  There are no marks as to the mfg. but a guess on my part is Sowerby Glass Co. in England.  It looks like their type of work.   The only defect is a very small chip on the bottom near one edge between the feet.   See pics for condition.  Other than the chip and minor paint loss, it is excellent.
