Bottles with items way too large to fit down the neck today, including three shots of the same ship (I can't resist! They all seem a bit different to me):

I'm going to go in search of a time lapse video that shows someone making a ship in a bottle. It makes me wonder who first had the idea.
I've always been amazed by this...the patience alone would be incredible!
These are wonderful examples, but I must admit that the ones that tell a story are new to me. I just love the Buddelschiff Titanic with its ice floes, sinking ship, even the little puffs of steam coming from the stacks.
The Life Of Pi In A Bottle is also very inventive.
And, yet, A Crystallpyramide from Erzgebirge/Germany is way cool on a bunch of levels. :-)
