This figural toothpick holder is the very one shown as figure #667 on p. 59 of the 1992 book prepared by members of the National Toothpick Holder Collector's Society. I myself laid out that page for the photo shoot. This bisque toothpick holder belonged to my mother and was in her collection for many years.
It stands 5 1/4 inches tall and most likely was made in Germany in the 1900-1918 period. It is painted in shades of blue with some gold color highlights on the dress, the collar and the underside of the umbrella. Her cheeks and lips are done in pink. If you collect German bisque dolls, this would make a charming go-along from the same time period. A charming blond young girl holds umbrella and is standing by a woven basket at her side. It is unsigned. It is in excellent condition.
I am a long time member and past President (1988) of the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Club. I guarantee the authenticity of this TP. For more info on toothpick holders as a great collectible, vist the National Toothpick Holder Collectors Society web page at www.nthcs.org
