Poirot tea glass

[Millenniumf]

I've been enjoying Poirot with my parents during lockdown, and the tea glass set into a holder that he drinks from is particularly intriguing. I love this simple design a lot, but looking up designs of tea glass holders it is remarkably hard to track down just what brand it was. I even used my little grey cells! I'm sure the set designers didn't make a custom glass holder for this show, though it's a remote possibility. I was wondering if anyone had seen something like this before?

Isn't suppose to hold a flower. Sorry I can't remember the proper name.

It's a lapel pin flower holder. here's something similar on Etsy:

Peridot Tussie Mussie Boutonniere Brooch Handmade in Poirot - Etsy Canada

This is a sterling silver boutonniere with handles and an art deco fan design. It is finished with a stunning genuine peridot gemstone. It is handmade in Australia in my workshop. There is only one. Peridot is the birthstone for August and symbolises strength. It was also called the evening emerald

I am an avid Poirot prop collector and I have the exact same holder. It is silver plate and I found it on eBay UK. It wasn’t expensive at all I think I got four for under $40. The trick will be finding a glass to fit it which will take a little patience.

What search term did you use to find it? Is there a certain brand of tea glass holder to look for?

The search term was ‘silver tea glass holder’ or something along those lines. Like most props on the show it has no known brand name and other than saying “silver plate” no maker’s marks. I don’t know if it will help you but here is the listing on the website of the prop company that likely rented the actual prop to the production:

That's a start at least. Thank you!

hello, dbh75, I have scoured ebay UK and still cannot find the exact same tea holder as you were able to do--can you please please suggest any other clues to finding one/some or rather similar? Thank you in advance! M

Hi sorry I took so long to reply. Try “lemonade glass holder” or “soda glass holder”. I checked and that was the description of the one I found. Unfortunately Poirot prop collecting can take a lot of patience, a virtue I lack…
