    This porcelain thimble is approx 3/4 inch tall with an imperfect shape and thickness to the bottom.
    It appears to have a cross mark incised which links up to a sheild shape or flight of an arrow shape on the top edge but possibly part of a larger mark that I just can't make sense of.
    The last picture I have altered the lighting slightly to enhance the mark.
    Any help is much appreciated.
