Straw holders in soda fountains stored straws for customers and were often decorative, like this blue Victorian glass holder. Standing 12.25 inches tall with its lid, it features a floral design, while textured enamel paint creates unique patterns and finishes. Dating from the late 1800s, it displays a lovely blue color. The lid is free of cracks or chips and has a secure, rounded, easy-to-grasp handle, even when wet. With the lid removed, tiny flea-sized chips are visible on the outer and inner edges. Typical wear is present on the 3.75-inch-wide bottom from use. This piece will look amazing in a vintage soda fountain display or in your home. 21439-EOP
