I am happy to present a rare Botanic Garden thimble showing a single Daisy or Bellis Perennis flower as well as two insects. There is also a band of gold around the lower edge.

The thimble is in wonderful condition with no flaws, signs of use, or rubs on the gold.


In 1986 Portmeirion issued a set of twelve thimbles for The Thimble Collectors club. This is one of the thimble motifs offered as a part of this set and is fairly rare.

.....

The Daisy was an original 1972 flower on bread and butter plates and still remains in production today. It is based on an image found in the 1835 botany book with illustrations by William Clarke,Moral of Flowers, and written by Mrs. Hey.

Size	Almost 1" across the bottom and 1" high
Transfer	All are perfect and colorful. There are no missing spots or rubs on the gold bottom band.
Ground	Very white
Glaze	Perfect and shiny, no crazing
Chips/Cracks	None
Stains	None
Use Marks	None
Other Comments	A hard to find BG Collector's Club thimble!

NOTE: There is no ID mark on this thimble. It must have escaped the ID stamp machine! Normally, there would be an ID mark that looks like the one below...
