Lot 372: A Collection of Decorative Glass Ships in Bottles and Flasks attributed to Mayflower Glass

A collection of decorative glass ships presented in cylindrical bottles and a globular flask. The ships are created from lampworked glass, exhibiting detailed rigging and masts. The assortment includes a model of the Cutty Sark with frosted glass sails and several depictions of the Mary Rose. These variations include sails in iridescent pink, gold-toned finishes, and a clear glass version within a globular flask. Each piece is set upon a dark wooden plinth with a nameplate identifying the ship, with inscriptions including Mary Rose Circa 1545 and A.D. 1545 The Mary Rose. The globular flask features a decorative twine binding at the neck. These models are characteristic of the glass miniatures produced by Mayflower Glass during the latter part of the 20th century.
