A folk art diorama model passenger ship in a bottle English circa 1930
About the Item
This early 20th century ship in a bottle diorama is of a rarer subject being an early large steam ocean going passenger liner set in a scene just off the shoreline with a lighthouse and cottages. The ship is on a choppy sea with two racing yachts in the foreground. The ship, surrounding sea and coastline have all been very realistically modelled and hand painted with good detailing. These interesting bottles took great skill and patience to produce. They were often made by sailors occupying their spare time whilst at sea.
