Spode Cherub Thimble — Winged Putti Motif, Gold Gilt, English Bone China

A refined miniature from the Spode Cherub series, this English bone china thimble is decorated with a classically inspired winged putti (cherub) motif and finished with gold gilt detailing. Spode — one of England's most celebrated porcelain houses, with a history stretching back to 1770 — brought the same quality and precision to their collector thimbles as to their finest tableware. The cherub motif, drawn from the classical revival tradition, lends this small object a timeless decorative authority. Produced in the 1980s and in excellent vintage condition, this is a charming acquisition for the collector of English porcelain miniatures and Spode pieces.
