A four mast 18th century ship in a bottle, English folk art circa 1920

About the Item

This very good example has been hand built in a smaller sized square bottle than normally seen. It contains a large four mast 18th century ship fully rigged and with open sails leaving the shoreline which has high cliffs and buildings whilst about to pass a lighthouse. The scale and detail are very good and it has been very nicely hand painted. These rare folk art bottles were often made by sailors passing their spare time whilst at sea. They took many hours to complete. They are each a unique work, interesting and collectable. English, circa 1920 Height 6cm x width 21.5cm x depth 5.5cm
