Victorian Mauchline Warethread Holder

A charming piece of Victorian Scottish Mauchline Ware, expertly turned from smooth sycamore wood. This egg-shaped holder features a clear black transfer print depicting St. Mildred's Church in Whippingham, Isle of Wight—a location renowned for its close royal connections to Queen Victoria and Prince Albert and a staple of 19th-century souvenir ware. Designed originally to hold a thimble or small thread spool, this piece unscrews smoothly at the waist. A wonderful addition for collectors of Mauchline Ware, antique sewing collectibles, or Isle of Wight memorabilia.
