Product details

Porcelain thimble decorated with a Nest of Alsatian Storks on the roof and Alsatian Village on one side, Alsace marking.

A thimble is a small, often cylindrical object in which the fingertip is inserted to protect it from the sewing needle, usually the middle or ring finger. In sewing, it serves as a protective case for the fingers when using a sewing needle.

  • Height: 2.7 cm
  • Diameter: 2.3 cm

The thimble has its origins in Antiquity. The earliest examples, often made of bronze or bone, date back to the Roman Empire and were used to make sewing easier. Their use spread during the Middle Ages, when they began to be crafted from metal and adopted more elaborate forms.

Over the centuries, thimbles have become not only practical tools, but also objects of art and collectors' items, usually decorated with engravings or cultural motifs. This Alsatian thimble perfectly embodies this tradition, combining regional craftsmanship with timeless design whilst highlighting the symbolism of the stork, emblematic of Alsace and its picturesque villages.
