Product description
Maritime folk art from the 1900s and before, a fishing boat in a bottle, originating from Zeebrugge, Belgium.
Made in the typical whisky bottle.
Year 1970.
26 cm x 7 cm x 7 cm.
The object depicts a detailed diorama of a beam trawl fishing vessel designated Z520, the Car Wehm from Zeebrugge owned by shipowner Camiel Desmidt, set against a background of colorful houses and a church, which is typical of coastal architecture from that period.
The bottle is crafted from clear glass and sealed with a red cap, contributing to its authentic appearance. Inside, various materials, including wood and textiles, have been used to shape the ship and the background. The colors are vibrant, with red, yellow, green, and black as prominent shades. The dimensions and specific construction technique reflect the patience and precision characteristic of this type of craftsmanship.
The object is in good condition, commensurate with its age. The colors are well preserved and the internal construction of the bottle is intact. The red cap shows slight signs of age, which emphasizes the vintage character of the piece.
