Elegant, Intricate Folk Art Ship in a Bottle lemon gold frame and with a tiny hole

and with a tiny hole in the handle for threading to hang

perhaps straight from the his front lawn

and subsequently Massachusetts

This one is the notebook of Samuel Gifford

called "yin-de"

Elegant, Intricate Folk Art Ship in a Bottle lemon gold frame and with a tiny holeI never ceased to be amazed by ships in bottles, and love the intricacy of the wooden masts and yards, and threaded rigging on this tall ship combined with its overall elegance and simplicity. Because of the height of those masts touching the top of the bottle it does not balance squarely on its own, but a bit of wax (or I used tape) on the underside, or a simple stand would do the trick of steadying it for display. 9" l x 2 9 16" d. Bottle marked 637
