HEISEY GREEN GLASS PINEAPPLE
& FAN PATTERN TOOTHPICK HOLDER EAPG GOLD DECOR
A
beautiful piece of early American made pattern glass (EAPG) in the form of a lovely
little toothpick holder. It is a quality
piece of pressed glass and was made by the Heisey Glass Company, formerly of Newark,
Ohio. It is made in a dark emerald green
colored glass and the pattern is called “Pineapple & Fan” and is decorated
with hand painted gold decoration. I see
no evidence of the Heisey “Diamond H” logo on this piece. The piece in my photos is the actual item you
will receive. This piece has been part
of my personal toothpick holder collection since 1999. Please be sure to read the “Age and Condition” & “Approximate Dimensions” paragraphs below. Also, please read about our multiple purchase
discount under the “PAYMENT, SHIPPING, Insurance & PACKAGING” paragraph below.
If
you are not familiar with the NTHCS (National Toothpick Holder Collectors’
Society) it is a great organization and you can learn more about toothpick
holders and collecting them at their website.
I
do my best to describe all items as accurately as possible and to the best of
my ability. Some of my photos may be
somewhat lighter or darker than actual to better show detail or color. However, do not hesitate to contact me with
any questions, comments, or with requests for additional pictures. I will get back to you as soon as I am
able. I want your transaction with me to
be exactly the way I want mine to be when I am the buyer.
Please take a moment and visit our

Age and Condition
This
piece dates to circa 1898.
It
is in excellent to near mint original condition. Please look closely at the photos as they are
an important part of my description of this item. There are no chips, flea bites, cracks,
hairlines, or repairs to the glass – see my photos. There is some slight wear to the gold
decoration. With a loupe, you can see appropriate
signs of wear or use to the underside of the foot where the piece sits. Please keep in mind these photos may be blown
up at least 8-10 times normal, so anything you see will look 8-10 times larger
in the photos than it really is.
Please
note: if you see a dark spot in the photos, it is from my camera and is not a
mark on the piece. It will be either
just to the right of center towards the bottom or slightly above center on the
right side of the photo.
