How do I get these off?

The cup and toothbrush holders in my bathroon need to be replaced. I can't find and mechanical attachment. How are they attached? How do you get them off. I've attached a picture.

In most residential style fixtures, there is a small screw on the bottom edge that can be loosened to remove the escutcheon plate from the mounting plate that is held to the wall by two screws, but I have never seen anything like this.

I'm not sure but some of these fixtures have a very small set screw on the bottom of the fixture .This holds the fixture to a bracket that is screwed or rivited to the wall.

I'm familiar with the type of attachment you describe and as far as I can tell (my wife looked too) there is no screw or rivet.

I've not seen this kind of holder myself, but you could try GENTLY lifting up on the holder to see if it slides off. Then perhaps underneath is a part that was either screwed or riveted to the wall. It's just a thought!

I'm begining to wonder if they might be attached with an adhesive?

So far I've struck out. Surely someone has taken these things off?
