I think this is an antique toothbrush holder from the 1920s or 30s with a slot at the back for the toothpaste. But my wife thinks it is a spoon holder. Certainly she is right that it wouldn’t work with the fat handled toothbrushes that are sold today. So you choose. Are you remodelling an old bathroom and looking for a feature piece of decor or do you want an unusual spoon holder for your kitchen?
Regardless, it’s amazing to have such a piece in such good condition after all these years. Other than a little red paint loss and extensive fine crazing, this rooster is in excellent condition. There are no markings as to where it was made but similar ceramics were made in Japan. The base is 5 5/8″ long by 1 ¾” wide and it is almost 5″ tall to the top of the rooster’s crown.

Re shipping. When you check out you will be quoted a price for the shipping based on your address and the estimated physical size and weight of the package.
All items destined to any country outside of Canada (including USA) will have tariffs applied (percentage of the item’s value depending on the country of origin) and brokerage fees (approx $2).
Items destined to the USA require a label or mark stating the country of origin – in many cases vintage items aren’t marked and I may have to physically attach such a label myself.
I use Chit Chats, a Canadian shipping company that shops around for the best rates from both public and private sources worldwide.
All items are packed carefully and securely. I use recycled materials wherever possible. Most shipments are insured.
I will combine shipping on multiple purchases whenever appropriate in order to save you money. I will refund the saving when the items are shipped.
If you live or work in the vicinity of Whitby, Ontario, you can pick up your purchase and save the shipping charges. You could also drop by and view the items we’ve listed in person. See address below.
