Cut crystal this precise doesn't happen by accident — it takes a glassmaking tradition measured in generations.
This toothpick holder from Kristal Zajecar of Yugoslavia features the Brahms pattern: finely cut palms and X's across the body, finished with an elegant sawtooth rim. Made from 24% lead crystal, it has the weight and light-catching brilliance that only genuine lead crystal produces. Zajecar, in what is now Serbia, was one of Yugoslavia's most respected crystal manufacturers, producing pieces that rivaled Western European crystal at a fraction of the price — and at the same standard of craftsmanship. Versatile beyond the table: equally suited as a match holder at the bar or a cotton swab holder in the powder room. Two available.
A refined gift for the crystal collector, the vintage tableware enthusiast, or anyone who sets a table with intention.
