Description:

A hand painted thimble with a gilt rim. This piece has pink blossom on a deep blue background. I believe it is a Limoges thimble as I have seen other pieces of Limoges with the same design and it is signed inside in a similar way.


Identifying Marks / Makers Marks: Signed inside "MC" ( I have seen these initials on other hand painted Limoges pieces) and "Peint Main" (hand painted).

Age / date of manufacture:

Post 1940.

Size: Measures 1" (2.5 cm) tall.

Condition: In excellent undamaged condition. The gilt rim has some feint lines where you can see the blue underneath (please see the photographs).
