These wooden animals--dogs

plus silver glitter on top

a ceramic artist who founded the Rare Earth Mudworks in Amesbury

and as he surely once held tools in his hands

but the shapes of his arms

Elegant, Intricate Folk Art Ship in a Bottle staff drawer These wooden animals--dogsI 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
