About the Item
This is a very fine example of the art of building a model ship in a glass bottle. It is constructed in a large rectangular whiskey bottle. The ship is a three masted barque named Seamaid circa 1870 and made in Glasgow. It is modelled in full sail and intricately rigged with great detail and perfect scale. It is set onto a choppy sea which is modelled in clay or plaster with a stormy sky all of which have been beautifully hand painted.
The bottle is sealed with cork and wooden wedges, and finished on the exterior of the bottle is woven hemp string in a platted design and sealed with red wax.
The bottle has an indistinct engraved glass inscription on the reverse giving details of the ship type and where it was made.
This is a very good ship in a bottle, finely crafted and in excellent condition.
British, circa 1920

A rare 19th century folk art diorama of two sailing vessels racing at sea.
Located in Central England, GB
This most attractive mid 19th century folk art cased diorama shows a view at sea with a large three mast English ship being chased in a racing situation by a smaller and faster single mast yacht. Both are passing by a lighthouse which is in the foreground.
This diorama has been beautifully handmade. The vessel, sails and lighthouse are all hand carved in wood and very nicely painted in bright colours as is the setting of the choppy sea which has most likely been formed in papier mâché.
The most appealing element of this piece is its small compact size which easily lends itself for display on a shelf, table or perhaps wall mounted.
The case is made from nailed pine boards which have been papered and painted black and finished with a glazed front set into putty.
The glass is original and period with lovely handmade imperfections.
This decorative diorama is in excellent original condition.
English, circa 1860
Height 16cm x width 52.5cm x depth 8.5cm max.
