Manufacturer: Noritake China Company
This 2 1/2 inch tall footed toothpick holder is very unusual in that it carries the words Del. Water Gap on its side. It is done in the fairly common pattern collectors refer to as Tree by Lake, a variant of the Tree in the Meadow pattern distributed by the Larkin Soap Company as premiums. This toothpick holder is in great shape. It may have been part of a smoking set or a condiment set. I have seen other items with this very souveniring in the past, particularly on a figural ashtray of a dog on the ashtray, but in 20 years of collecting this is the first time I have seen it on a toothpick holder. To see a piece with the same souveniring see page 46 of Spain's Noritake A-Z book, plate A.9. It is signed with the standard green wreath mark. The piece is in excellent condition and ready to join your Noritake or toothpick holder collection.
I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP.
