Abstract
A holder for table napkins has a base supporting prongs for engaging table napkins to hold them upright. A suction cup is held to the underside of the base for holding the base securely to a surface such as a table upon removal of a napkin. The suction cup has upstanding portions engaging the underside of the base to enable the suction cup to be depressed by movement of the napkin holder downwardly. In preferred form, the base has an opening for receiving a tab connected to the suction cup for releasing the suction cup from the table.
