Beautiful, unique, one-of-a-kind coastal decor! Perfect example of how the ocean turns trash into treasure! A friend of mine picks these up on dive trips on the southern east coast of Florida all the way down to the Keys. Clear glass bottle encrusted with barnacles, oysters and coral growth. Not sure if this is really a type of coral. It could be bryozoan colony. This probably held ale or soda. It measures 8" tall, 2 5/8" in diameter and is in good condition with no cracks or chips but has cloudiness and scratches consistent with being tossed in the surf. Beautiful standing alone or in a group...
**Please note: barnacles are delicate by nature and as these have grown naturally on the bottle (not glued!), it is possible that some of them may come off in shipping. You should handle the bottle with care and try not to touch the barnacles so as to preserve them. The coral crust is really delicate and chips off easily. To secure it buying to be safe for handling and secure it from later coming off my friend has coated this bottle with polyurethane giving the bottle a sheen which appears as though it was just plucked out of the water. Still hand decorated by the ocean...NOT crafted!**
