Shop In A Bottle, "miniature Sailing Ship" – 1950s

Bottle, "Miniature Sailing Ship" – 1950s

Evocative blown glass bottle containing a detailed, handcrafted model of a four-masted sailing ship.

The vessel, complete with masts, shrouds, and small flags, is inserted inside the bottle using the traditional "ship-in-a-bottle" artisanal technique.

These models are crafted with great precision, inserting the ship with the masts down and raising them once inside via a system of wires.

It is considered a symbol of craftsmanship and patience, often referred to as a "patience bottle."

The glass has a light patina and signs of aging, attesting to its authenticity and vintage charm.

The internal model displays fine workmanship.

Features:

* Material: glass and wood/wire for the model
* Technique: artisanal
* Period: presumably mid-20th century
* Condition: good overall condition.
* Dimensions: 24 cm - diameter 30 cm 9

Perfect as a nautical decor item, for collectors or lovers of vintage maritime objects.
