This is a souvenir toothpick holder made of custard glass, which is an opaque, creamy-yellow pressed glass. The vessel features a tapered form with a scalloped, beaded rim and a single row of molded beading around the base. The front of the piece is decorated with a polychrome transfer print depicting a bridge crossing a river. Beneath the scene, the text is printed in black: NEW WAGON BRIDGE, / WIS. RIVER AT SPRING GREEN, WIS. The piece shows remnants of gold gilt highlights applied to the scalloped edge. No maker marks or signatures are visible on the exterior or the underside of the base. This type of souvenir ware was popular in the United States during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
