For your consideration and for sale I offera LATE 19TH CENTURY
GLASS CHEROOT HOLDER.This cheroot holder is of a size that would suggest that it would have heldcigars or cheroots rather than cigarettes.This glass holder has been free blown rather than moulded and hand decorated by cutting into the overlaid glass.
Overlaid glass wasn\'tvery easy to produce. Layersof glass would be gathered one on top of each other until the desired effect hadbeen reached. In this case a white glass was used as the base metal and then a pink coloured layer was applied, After the piece had cooled, the glass was cut toshow the different colour layers of glass in the required patterns.
This technique was used for cologne and scent bottlesfrom the same period. Similar holders were produced in the Stourbridge area but I won\'t hesitate to say that this piece is of Bohemian origin. The holder, which would date to around 1880-1900, is 3.25 inches in length from mouthpiece to the open end and free from any damage.
This example has been used, stains are to be found on the inside of the holder and it is suggested that these types ofholders gave a very pleasing and much cooler smoke than without the holder.
I shall leave the images to complete my description and welcome all questions.
