This collection features three glass-encased display pieces, attributed to English studios such as Mayflower Glass. The largest item is a ship-in-a-bottle model depicting the American whaling ship Charles W. Morgan, 1841. The detailed three-masted vessel is rigged with multiple sails and positioned on a textured blue and white base representing the sea. The clear glass bottle features twin handles and is sealed with a cork and red wax, bearing a label inscribed Hand made in England. It rests on a dark wood cradle stand. The second item is a lampwork glass model of the Santa Maria, dated 1492 on a gold-tone plaque. The ship features amber-coloured glass sails and is contained within a bell-shaped glass decanter with a spherical stopper, mounted on a circular turned dark wood base. The third item is a spun glass angel figurine with gilded accents on the halo, wings, and chest star, housed inside a cylindrical glass display dome with a silver-toned base.
