In Scotland, youll often find the thistle as an ornament carved into stone lintels, stitched into wool or etched in silver. Weve made the thistle into a pottery ornament, using equal care and craft skills: our hand-sponged Thistle Tiny Plate Decoration. This miniature Emma Bridgewater ornament is so pretty to look at: hang it by its purple ribbon over a mirror, from a picture hook, on the dresser – or even as a lovely pendant around your neck.
