Hand cut full lead crystal thimble made by 'Tudor Crystal' cut with the 'Henry Tudor' design,
When Henry Tudor took the crown of England from Richard III in battle, he brought about the end of the Wars of the Roses between the House of Lancaster (Red Rose) and the House of York (White Rose). His mother was Margaret Beaufort from the House of Lancaster, His father was Edmund Tudor from the House of Richmond; he married Elizabeth of York to bring all factions together.
Here in the heart of England, working alongside the skilled artisans at Tudor Crystal, feeling the tremendous heat from the old brick-built kilns, seeing the molten crystal glass being taken from the kiln before being pressed into the thimble mould, one really had the feeling that we were creating something special. This became even more apparent once the thimble had been hand cut to this new design and polished to reveal its crystal clarity.
Thimble height approx 28mm.Carefully packaged with a certificate of authenticity.
