Gold Trimmed Cobalt Blue Thimble Porcelain Limoges Box
Deep cobalt blue wrapped in gold trim gives this porcelain thimble a regal finish. It is a Limoges box made in Limoges, France, in the shape of the sewing room's most faithful tool.
A Seamstress's Crown
Thimbles have protected fingertips for centuries, and many grandmothers kept a favorite in a sewing basket for decades. Cobalt and gold is a classic pairing on fine porcelain, and here it turns a humble tool into something worthy of a display shelf.

Thread and Needle Shelf
Set it on a sewing room shelf with vintage spools, in a curio cabinet with a thimble collection, or on a craft table where the cobalt catches the eye. Collectors of thimbles will appreciate a porcelain version made in Limoges, France, and anyone who sews by hand will understand its meaning. Pair it with scissors, button and spool boxes for a complete needlework display.
