The Tressemanes & Vogt Legacy: Founded in 1882, the T&V partnership became legendary for producing some of the finest, most translucent white porcelain blanks in France. They specifically catered to high-end export markets in New York and London, where wealthy families would purchase their delicate blanks to be custom-decorated by master studio artists.Victorian Toothpick Etiquette: In the late 1800s, fancy toothpick holders became a mandatory part of high-society formal table settings. Rather than keeping them hidden away in the kitchen, hosts displayed toothpicks prominently in fine French porcelain containers at the center of the dessert course, making small pieces like this highly prized status symbols of hospitality.📏 Exact Measurements & Weights

About Old FloridaVintage
Welcome to my store! I moved down to sunny Florida 6 years ago from up north. Most of the wonderful treasures I list here were cherished pieces kept in my previous northern home. My home here in Florida is quite a bit smaller and has a completely different aesthetic, so I am lovingly sending these items off to find a wonderful new home where they can be appreciated and enjoyed all over again! I also love to find things at estate sales, yard sales and moving sales which we have an abundance of here in SW Florida. I love finding them new homes and saving things from the landfill. Most of my shipping supplies I source from local businesses or my neighborhood and construction sites. I try to reuse and recycle most of my packing supplies too.🚛 Shipping & Handling Policy
