Description
This teak toothpick holder is designed as a small hedgehog and dates from the 1960s. A rounded body transitions into a narrow snout. Small dark eyes complete the highly simplified animal form.
Holes on the back hold the toothpicks, which thereby also appear as quills. The grain of the wood remains part of the design. The object is stylistically reminiscent of designs by Ernst Henrikson, without this being associated with a designer or manufacturer attribution.
