Concrete Mixer Truck Porcelain Thimble

Few vehicles symbolise construction as clearly as the concrete mixer truck: that big drum endlessly turning, found on every building site in the Netherlands and Belgium. This porcelain thimble brings this workhorse together in miniature, lovely for anyone who knows and cherishes the trade.

The workhorse of the building site

A concrete mixer does more than transport: it keeps mixing on the road, maintains the concrete at temperature and ensures it can be poured exactly on time. Without this mobile factory, modern construction would be unthinkable. Foundations, floors and bridge sections all begin their life in such a turning drum. That is why anyone who ever worked on a building site recognises this vehicle instantly.

Collecting vehicles in miniature

Within the thimble hobby, professions and vehicles form a beloved theme alongside places and animals. Fire engines, tractors and now concrete mixers give a collection character and humour at once. Every addition tells something about the work that makes our buildings and infrastructure possible.

Who is this piece for?

This thimble appeals to bricklayers, carpenters, drivers and contractors who take pride in their craft. Hobby DIYers and children crazy about anything with wheels will know what to do with it too.

A gift with humour

An attentive gift upon finishing a project, at a retirement from the trade or simply as a thank-you for someone on the site every day. Small enough to send, funny enough never to be forgotten.

In short: the building site in miniature, honest and tough, preserved in porcelain.
