A diorama of two ships in a large bottle C1920 Ship in bottle  diorama Port Jackson %%alt5%% %%alt6%%
A large folk art diorama double ship in a bottle c 1920.

This superb folk art diorama ship in a bottle has been wonderfully modelled and constructed in a very large Bells whiskey bottle. The type of bottle used for display in a pub or inn.

The main vessel is the Australian four mast iron ship, the SV Port Jackson, built circa 1890.

This model ship is extraordinary in its modelling and detail. It is shown in full sail with accurate rigging and a finely detailed deck.

The ship is surging through the water chasing after a smaller sailboat boat which is built into the neck of this large bottle.

The diorama has a distance cost line and a small island, which from research seems to resemble a view of the entrance to the Australian Port Jackson, New South Wales.
The ship, sea and landscape are all beautifully hand pained – a real work of art.

The diorama comes with a custom hardwood stand for displaying the bottle and a Bakelite type plaque engraved with SV Port Jackson, circa 1890.

This fine, very large example is in very good original condition.
English or possibly Australian, circa 1920-30.

Height of bottle 14cm x width 51cm x depth 14cm
Height including the stand 20cm
