Ships, Folk Art, and Whimsey in Bottles

This is a bottle containing the word "IT." This word is used for the eBay commercial to signify that you can find "IT" on eBay. The slogan was, "Whatever it is, you can get ‘IT’ here." The letters stand approximately 2 1/2" high and are made from cuts of 1/2" square wood. They are put in a Riunite bottle with a screw cap. This bottle was made for Greg Alvey by his daughter Laura Poplin as a Christmas gift in December 2005. The bottle sits on two small wooden pieces shaped to the contour of the bottle.
