| Description |
Toothpicks are used to remove food from the teeth and this ivory case has a mirror in the lid so the user could see exactly where to place the pick. Now missing, the toothpicks themselves would have been made from bone or ivory. Such toothpick cases became a fashion accessory from the 1700s onwards and the expensive nature of the materials reflect the wealth of the owner. Other elaborate cases would have been made from tortoiseshell, silver and gold. maker: Unknown maker Place made: England, United Kingdom Wellcome Images |
