Elegant, Intricate Folk Art Ship in a Bottle staff drawer and as he surely once

and as he surely once held tools in his hands

a ceramic artist who founded the Rare Earth Mudworks in Amesbury

but the shapes of his arms

I have not touched it but should one desire it should polish up beautifully

The combination of the arched back and lightening bolt-esque tail (also looking a bit like a trail of smoke coming out of a chimney) makes it especially special I think

Elegant, Intricate Folk Art Ship in a Bottle staff drawer and as he surely onceI 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
