Add a fun mid-century touch to your barware collection with this vintage set of cocktail / hors d’oeuvres picks, complete with original box (bottom half only).
This set features carved blue stone heads mounted on metal picks, likely produced in Japan during the mid-20th century. The vibrant turquoise-blue carvings resemble jade but are more likely dyed stone (commonly serpentine), a material frequently used in vintage export pieces of this era.
The stylized carved heads give off a distinct tiki / tribal aesthetic, making these perfect for collectors of:
- Mid-century modern (MCM) barware
- Tiki / Polynesian décor
- Vintage novelty serving pieces
