Three Mast Ship in Bottle Nautical Sailing Vessel on Wood Base

This three mast ship in bottle is a hand assembled sailing vessel display with cloth sails, thread rigging, a painted hull, blue putty sea, clear glass bottle, and wood base.

The miniature ship looks complete and well preserved for display, with its masts, sails, rigging, hull, and red pennant still visible through the clear bottle.

The black and white hull, full sails, and blue sculpted water give it the look of traditional maritime folk art and make it an easy fit for nautical shelf, study, office, or coastal decor.
