Badminton Porcelain Thimble

Of all racquet sports, badminton may be the most underrated. Behind the light shuttles hides one of the fastest racquet games in the world. This porcelain thimble celebrates that sport in a modest, charming way.

From country house to Olympic sport

Badminton traces its origins to an age-old game that received its modern name at an English country estate, after the seat of the Duke of Beaufort. From there the sport grew into a global discipline that has featured on the Olympic program since 1992. Especially in Asia and Europe, badminton has become a full-fledged top sport with millions of players.

Why players cherish this game

Anyone who has stood in a hall during a rally knows how explosive badminton is: jump smashes, duels at the net and lightning wrist work demand reflexes and stamina. At the same time it is a sociable indoor sport that unites young and old, from recreational Tuesday-night players to international champions. That combination is exactly what makes it such an appealing theme for sports fans.

Sport on the collector's shelf

Within the thimble hobby, sports themes are beloved: football, tennis, skating and badminton all find their way onto miniatures. Such a piece tells not only the story of the sport itself, but also of the person who chose it. Among other collectibles it stands out immediately through its distinctive character.

A gift for club and home

A fun and thoughtful gift for club mates, coaches or youth players. It also works perfectly as a small tournament prize or end-of-season thank-you.

In short: the speed of the shuttle, caught in a tiny porcelain gem.
