Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This web site is devoted to the art and craft of building and collecting ships, folk art, and whimsey in bottles, light bulbs, flasks, and other glass containers. This site contains the most extensive gallery of this folk artisan craft in the world along with a workshop area that offers tips and techniques and building plans for both the beginner and the experienced artist. Here, you will find a large library of related pictures, articles, media, and more, along with a comprehensive bibliography of books and world associations devoted to this craft. Artists from around the world contribute information and examples of their wonderful work. If you are a builder and wish to listed as an Artist, or if you are a collector and want to submit a bottle for the Gallery, please email me using the "Contact Us" button.

FolkArtinBottles does not  appraise, restore bottles or help assign a sales price or value; nor do we recommend others for that service. We do purchase bottles regardless of age, type, or condition, including bottles that may need repair or restoration.
