Description

This bottle I would say is in good condition. The glass bottle has a few bubbles in it. The cork in the end looks like its probably the original.

The inside has a painted scene of water and sky. In the foreground is a protuded village, hills, houses and a lighthouse. I'm not sure of what this is made of since its in the bottle.

The main focal point of the bottle is a warship with two masts and artillery. There are also two smoke stacks with cotton that's used to make it look like smoke.
