Hot Air Balloon Porcelain Thimble No 01

The start of a balloon collection

Every hot air balloon has its own character, and the same goes for the examples in this series. With this number one you lay the foundation for a colourful collection that only grows more beautiful over time. The nice thing is that each piece stands out, meaning no two collections look alike. Adding more numbers later brings the sky above your cabinet slowly to life.

A motif that never gets old

Hot air balloons radiate a special calm. They move slowly, symbolise freedom and let our longing for faraway destinations drift away. Exactly those feelings make this motif so beloved, even on a small object such as a thimble. It is a tiny escape for those who dream about the horizon.

Fun to collect

Collecting a series has something addictive about it: every new number feels like a small victory. Thanks to the numbering you know exactly which pieces you already have and which are still missing. That makes collecting both organised and exciting, especially when friends or family watch along and perhaps surprise you with a new piece on a special occasion.

Proudly display your collection

A single thimble is already pretty, but a row of hot air balloons in a display cabinet is a real eye-catcher. Vary the heights, use display domes if you like and turn it into your own air show. Guests will be sure to ask how your collection grew, and that is half the pleasure of the hobby.
