Fitz & Floyd Hand-Painted Floral Pig Toothpick Holder

About this piece

DESCRIPTIONA wonderfully cheerful Fitz & Floyd figural pig, seated with its front feet tucked forward and six openings arranged across its rounded back for toothpicks or petite cocktail picks. The creamy white body is hand-painted with soft pink blossoms, curling green stems, leafy accents, rosy ears, hooves, snout, and a tiny tail. Brown eyes and an open, smiling mouth give the little character an especially animated expression.WORTH NOTINGThe recessed underside is marked “Handpainted Japan,” “Fitz and Floyd, Inc.,” and the Roman-numeral copyright date MCMLXXXII (1982). The source title calls the piece white glass, but its exact composition is not independently confirmed, so this listing does not make a material claim. The six back openings are individually ringed with painted dots and curved brushwork.MEASUREMENTSNo ruler or source dimensions were supplied. Estimated from the photographs, the holder is approximately 4–5 inches long, 3–4 inches high, and about 3 inches wide. These are visual estimates only and should not be treated as hands-on measurements.CONDITIONPre-owned vintage condition. The floral decoration, facial details, six openings, and underside marks are all visible. Photos show light surface wear and small marks, plus rubbing and discoloration around the unglazed foot; no obvious large chip or crack is visible in the supplied views. Please review the full gallery for the most complete condition record.STYLE NOTESEqual parts cottage-table charm and playful conversation piece, this pig can hold toothpicks beside a cheese board, cocktail picks on a bar cart, or simply perch on an open shelf among floral and animal collectibles. The restrained pink-and-green palette keeps the whimsy sweet rather than sugary.FROM THE HOUSEA smiling pig in painted posies, ready to make even the smallest place setting feel like a party—irresistibly useful, delightfully unserious. ~ Genevieve
