Porcelain collectors thimbles
Porcelain thimbles: a blend of utility and collection
Our collector’s thimbles are crafted from fine bone china. They feature iconic designs such as: the famous Sajou embroiderer, cross-stitch initials, a vintage Sajou logo, and even vintage thread trade marks.
While these china thimbles are primarily made for collecting, they can still be used in an emergency for a few stitches. Explore our presentation case designed to beautifully display your thimbles.
All our thimbles are presented in charming cardboard boxes, perfect for gifting or protecting your collection.
Porcelain thimbles first appeared in Europe, likely in Germany around 1720. This coincided with the creation of the famous Meissen manufactory, the first in Europe capable of producing "hard-paste porcelain," made with kaolin, rediscovering the secrets of Chinese craftsmanship. It’s fascinating how an object initially so utilitarian has become such a prized collectible with immense popularity.
Also, don’t miss our classic thimbles in golden brass, perfect for everyday use.
