Vintage White Porcelain Thimble. A pink rose with green leaves pictured on the thimble is a fired decal, (this is not a hand painted design). I am a certified ceramicist teacher and have been for 22 years and have worked with fired decals on porcelain for years. There is an obvious difference between hand-painted designs and fired decals. Only the gold trim around the bottom of the thimble has been hand painted in 22k fired gold on clear glaze. Thimble has a nice glossy sheen and measures 1 inch tall x 2 1/2 inches circumference x 14/16th's diameter. Made of porcelain and has the bumpy textured top that keeps your needle from slipping while being used. The gold trim shows a small, faint spot of wear, otherwise it is in pristine condition and would be a wonderful addition to your collection of vintage thimbles.
