Toothpick Holders : China, Glass, and Metal

To create this book, collectors submitted more than 1,100 items, most not shown previously in color. This volume describes and illustrates toothpick holders in a variety of categories: art glass (Burmese, Amberina, Cranberry, decorated wares, iridescent); pressed and blown glass (cut, ruby-stained, colored and clear); porcelain and china (Royal Bayreuth, R.S. Prussia, R.S. Germany, Nippon, Royal Doulton); Silverplate (and other metals); and Figurals in different materials.The 48 pages of color photographs are particularly outstanding. This book also includes catalog reprints from the 1880s to the 1920s. It is well indexed and has very little duplication of William Heacock's earlier books on toothpick holders.National Toothpick Holder Collector's Society Staf is the author of 'Toothpick Holders : China, Glass, and Metal', published 1993 under ISBN 9780915410897 and ISBN 0915410893.
