Vintage thimble from Caithness, Sccotland. Amber glass with millefiori paperweight on the top.
This is one of the early hand blown ones as can be seen by the domed inside.
Millefiori is Italian for "many flowers" and the top is made from multicoloured glass canes giving the intricate design seen and each thimble is unique.
These thimbles are no longer made and are becoming sought after.
