The Wonderful Wizard of Oz series set made in United States and are of porcelain. These thimbles were made in 1983, hand painted by Tasia and marked inside Heirloom Editions / USA © 1983 / Tasia. Set includes: Dorothy Gale with Toto thimble. A young girl from Kansas and the protagonist of the novel. Dorothy is brave, kind, and determined to return home after she is uprooted from it. Despite being the protagonist of the novel, Dorothy does not change much throughout her adventures. Toto is a small dog that helped keep Dorothy cheerful in Kansas, and one of her companions on her quest. Toto and Dorothy are very protective of one another. He returns with Dorothy to Kansas at the end of the novel.Glinda thimble. The Good Witch of the South who lives in the country of the Quadlings. She tells Dorothy about the power of the Silver Shoes to take her home. Unlike the other supposedly powerful characters in Oz, Glinda is wise and has compassion for Dorothy.Scarecrow thimble. A magical scarecrow from Oz. The Scarecrow is one of Dorothy’s companions on her quest, and he is loyal to Dorothy and helps her while working toward his own goal of getting a brain. Cheerful and easy-going, the Scarecrow has more intelligence than he realizes. He eventually becomes ruler of the Emerald City when the Wizard leaves in his balloon.Tin Woodman thimble. A once-human man whose body has been completely replaced by tin. One of Dorothy’s companions on her quest, the Tin Woodman hopes to receive a new heart from the Wizard of Oz, although he shows himself to be kind and concerned for others already. The Tin Woodman eventually becomes ruler of the Winkies. The Cowardly Lion thimble. A fierce-seeming lion who is actually frightened of conflict. One of Dorothy’s companions on her quest, the Lion hopes that the Wizard will give him courage, although he repeatedly shows instances of bravery to help his companions. The Lion eventually becomes ruler over the beasts of the southern forest.The Wicked Witch of the West thimble. An evil witch and one of the main antagonists of the story. The Wicked Witch has enslaved the Winkies and takes Dorothy and the Lion as prisoners after having the flying monkeys incapacitate the Tin Woodman and the Scarecrow. Dorothy and her companions are sent by the Wizard of Oz to kill her. The Wicked Witch severely underestimates Dorothy’s courage and power and pays for it with her life. Please note: These thimbles are for decorative and not for sewing purposes. I found no significant condition issues with these thimbles, but signs of previous use and ownership should be expected consistent with its vintage timeline and should be taken into consideration with age and ownership. Please note: I will accept any reasonable offer. Please check out all of the pictures and thank you for watching.
