I found my silver thimble today. Its very old and I dont use it much. I decided that it is too pretty to hide in a box someplace. I am going to use it all the time.
It's a very traditional piece. The block is known by different names depending on the size, but these little suckers are "thimbles."

Jasper Ware is a type of fine-grained, unglazed stoneware introduced by the English potter Josiah Wedgwood in 1775 as the result of a long series of experiments aimed at discovering the techniques of porcelain manufacture. Its name derives from the fact that it resembles the natural stone jasper in its hardness.
Wedgwood is a name recognized instantly around the world. Josiah Wedgwood, the ‘Father of English Potters’, founded the company in 1759. He set the standard for high quality and continual innovation that has made Wedgwood an essential in the homes of today. From the creation of Jasper and Queen’s Ware then to the purity of fine bone china now, Wedgwood has never accepted second best. Today a stellar cast of International designers lend their skills to shape Wedgwood for the 21st century and beyond.
