The ancient riddle of the ship in the bottle — solved by your own hands. Build it, seal it, and place it on your shelf as a piece of genuine seafaring folklore.

This Catalonia ship-in-a-bottle kit brings a centuries-old folk art tradition within reach. All wooden parts are pre-cut and rigging materials are included — along with a cork-stoppered glass bottle — so you can complete the full experience without sourcing your own vessel. The finished ship measures 8.1 cm L × 5.4 cm W × 7.9 cm H inside the bottle: compact, detailed, and entirely the work of your own hands.

🔧 This is a model kit — assembly required. Tools and adhesives are not included and must be sourced separately.

⚠️ Skill level: Intermediate. Some model-building experience recommended. Please review the instruction manual before beginning assembly.

HISTORY & STORY

Ship in a bottle is one of the most recognisable forms of maritime folk art, with origins traced to German and Scandinavian seafaring communities in the 18th and 19th centuries. The craft is said to have begun with sailors — confined to long ocean voyages with idle hours — who folded masts flat, fed the hull through a narrow bottle neck, and raised the rigging inside using long tools and steady nerves.

The Catalonia, named for the northeastern Spanish coastal region with deep maritime heritage, is a classic full-rigged sailboat well suited to the ship-in-bottle form. Among ship-model collectors, the genre occupies a unique place: at once a puzzle, a performance, and a finished object of beauty. Building one is an act of patience and precision — and the finished piece on a shelf carries that story visibly.
