toothpick holder: Crider 1978 white lines Terry Crider started his glasswork in 1976. He is self taught. This studio glass artist has put out a limited amount of work over the past 36 years. He uses NO MOLDS and his only help has been his wife Donna who was responsible for all the finish work on the pieces. I had an email from Terry and Donna a few years ago stating that he doesn't think it would be fair to the collectors to make any of the same things again. They have decided, if they do make glass again, they are not going to make anything that they have made in the past. He made glass part time from 1988-2000.

In 2005, he began again to produce a limited amount of glass. He's a great artist with VERY few early pieces out there. This toothpick is in mint condition and is signed Crider 1978.

This Crider pale white opal base glass features an early vertical pulled lines decoration. The pulled lines are in a lavender purple glass which is also used to case the interior of the piece . It is totally iridized. It's hard to imagine the amount of work that went into this beautiful, hand made toothpick holder.

This little toothpick holder stands about 2 1/2 to 2 3/4 inches high at its highest point. It is a fantastic piece of American art glass! It is in perfect condition. It is signed Crider 1978.
