A collection of various decorative and commemorative thimbles, primarily crafted from porcelain and fine bone china. The group includes examples from makers such as Franklin Mint and Aynsley of England. Motifs featured across the collection include royal portraits of Queen Elizabeth II and Princess Diana, historical figures such as Christopher Columbus, topographical scenes of Norfolk, and various floral and geometric patterns. Several thimbles are part of the Peter Barrett 1979 bird series. The lot is accompanied by an oval wooden wall-mounted display shelf with multiple tiers. Additional accessories include a red velvet pincushion embellished with beadwork and floral details, a miniature red vintage-style automobile, and a glass tube containing metal pins. Several thimbles are housed in original presentation boxes or protective acrylic domes.
