    Description

    VINTAGE “KITTY CUCUMBER CINDERELLA” PORCELAIN THIMBLE.
    The Kitty Cucumber Collection evolved from a favorite cat that artist Mary Lillemoe had as a child- a cat born, of all places, in a cucumber patch.
    Many years later, upon first seeing Mary's whimsical sketches of her now famous childhood pet, Mary's 5-year-old daughter Annie proudly announced, "That's Kitty Cucumber!"
    And with that out- of- the mouths-of babes exclamation, a collection was born. Schmid was an international leader in fine gifts and collectibles, and transformed Kitty and her friends into finely handcrafted, hand painted collectibles.
    Schmid’s exceptional collection of Kitty Cucumber miniature thimbles is loved by all.
    Kitty and her friends are beautifully depicted in these hand painted porcelain thimbles.
    This thimble for auction is “Kitty Cucumber Cinderella” from the “Cinderella” collection.
    Kitty is dressed in her pink and white gown which is very elegant-and a gift from her fairy godmother!
    The detail of her gown is amazing.
    She has pink feathers in her hair, and pink bows along the bottom of her dress and neckline.
    She looks like a princess indeed!
    She is ready for a magical evening with her Prince.
    The detail is second to none, and her facial characteristics are amazing with her gleaming eyes, and white whiskers.
    It measures 1-7/8” high.
    On the inside of the thimble, it is marked B. Shackman, 1992, with a Schmid sticker.
    What a treasure for the Kitty Cucumber, or thimble collector.
    Kitty Cucumber porcelain collectibles withstand the test of time, with avid collectors all over the globe.
    Although vintage, the thimble is new - never displayed - from a smoke & pet free home.
    This thimble could naturally be used as a mini figurine also to display anywhere.
    It is Schmid #34051.
    No box.
    What fun it would be to get the whole collection of Kitty Cucumber thimbles!
    We have included the picture of one collection that is displayed in a Kitty Cucumber Wooden House for your reference (see attached photo).
    But this auction is only for the Kitty Cucumber Cinderella thimble.
