Silver Toothpick Holder

"Donkey with Cart and Barrel" Toothpick Holder – 835 Silver (Eagle) - Silver Toothpick Holder

Silver table toothpick holder, distinguished by its sculptural grace and the meticulous detail of its rustic and traditional composition.

The piece features a three-dimensional representation of a pack donkey harnessed to a traditional two-wheeled cart. The animal is portrayed with remarkable realism and grace, highlighting the precise details of the harness and the chased texture of its coat.

The design's highlight lies in the harmony and dynamism of the composition. Resting on the base of the cart is a detailed miniature barrel (cask), with well-defined hoops and staves, which serves as an ingenious receptacle for the toothpicks. The side rails of the cart, simulating intertwined ropes, add a touch of authenticity to the piece.
Instead of a traditional base, the ensemble rests directly on the elegant spoked wheels of the cart and the animal's hooves, providing stability and a sense of movement to the scene.

This silver toothpick holder boasts a traditional-inspired aesthetic with strong collectible appeal. Through its expressiveness and careful finish, the piece easily transcends its original utilitarian function.
It thus assumes the role of a true miniature sculpture, ideal for decorating a table centerpiece or enriching a display cabinet.

Manufactured by the renowned Porto silversmith, Manuel da Silva Sousa Oliveira, from 1985 onwards, the excellence and precision of the casting reflect a mastery of high-quality Portuguese silversmithing.

The piece bears the 0.835 silver guarantee mark (Eagle hallmark), used by the Porto Assay Office, as well as the maker's mark, certifying the authenticity, origin, and fineness of the precious metal.

Weighing 171.3 grams, it is a solid and exquisitely executed specimen, highly representative of ornamental and collectible silverware. The piece is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity, guaranteeing the veracity of the precious metal.
