SHIP IN A BOTTLE. (DAMAGED)
Turn-Of-The-Century, 8.5” bottle, 6.5” ship, Very Fine. This bottle contains a well-made, four-masted schooner, with full lines but no sails. Originally attached to a gray colored clay meant to simulate the ocean waves. The clay has dried and become detached from the glass. A couple of small pieces have broken off, but the ship is still “afloat” and intact. The mouth of the bottle has been sealed with a woven rope cap and tape. Sold “as is.” A nice example.
