A Folk Art Ship In A Bottle Diorama Dated 1922
A rare and highly unusual early 20th-century folk art ship-in-a-bottle diorama, depicting a remarkably elaborate coastal village and harbour scene.
The composition features multiple houses, a church, lighthouse and windmill set amongst trees on a grassy hillside descending towards the harbour. Below is a sea wall and jetty, with two small boats moored in the blue water. In the foreground is an especially unusual large burnt out shipwreck, giving the work its evocative title.
A further small rowing boat is positioned within the neck of the bottle. The bottle is finished with its original green woven cap, which is fixed in place.
The bottle has a small paper label on its base which reads After the Great Fire. T Minton 22.
The diorama retains its original handmade black wooden stand. The bottle is in excellent original condition, with no damage or losses.
English, circa 1922
Height: 12.5 cm including stand
Width: 30 cm
Depth: 7.5 cm
The unusual subject matter, highly detailed construction and surviving original label and stand make this a particularly distinctive example of early 20th century English maritime folk art.
