Hot Air Balloon Thimble Porcelain Number 8

The fascination of hot air balloons

Ever since the famous flight of the Montgolfier brothers in 1783, the hot air balloon has captured the imagination. What began as a daring experiment over Paris grew into a timeless symbol of adventure, freedom and romance. Colourful balloons still rise into the sky at festivals and special events all over the world. This porcelain thimble captures that magic in miniature and brings a piece of aviation history into your home.

Atmospheric display at home
