Ships in bottles are a form of maritime folk art traditionally created by sailors during long voyages, dating back centuries as a way to pass time at sea.

Authentic pieces typically utilise recycled glass bottles, carved wood for hulls and masts, cotton or linen thread for rigging, and painted putty or cloth to simulate waves.

Authenticity is assessed by examining the type of glass, hand-carving techniques, natural ageing of materials, and historical rigging methods consistent with specific eras.

This item suits study rooms, mantelpieces, or bookshelves, paired with books and brass accessories to add a layer of historic character and texture.

Keep the object out of direct sunlight to prevent paint fading and thread degradation, and gently dust the exterior glass with a dry microfibre cloth.
