This web site is devoted to the art and craft of building and collecting ships, folk art, and whimsy, whimsy art 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.

Please be aware that at folkartinbottles we do not restore or appraise bottles for others, or suggest a sales price or value, or recommend others for that service.  We are, however, more than happy and willing to try and assist you in learning more about your bottle such as its age, the maker, or any other pertinent information that we can provide. We do purchase bottles regardless of the age, type, or condition, including bottles that may need repair or restoration. Please contact us if you have a bottle you wish to sell.

I hope you enjoy your visit to folkartinbottles.com, and I look forward to hearing from you!
