Ship's size approximately 7 ? x 2 ? x 4"; total size of model, glass bottle and wooden display, approximately 12 x 5 ? x 12". Ship in a glass bottle in a hand-made wooden stand with decorative birds at top and cork in bottle opening (wooden stand has later glue repairs to upper portion of supports, some minor soiling visible (glue residue?) to the bottom of the ship's hull, some minor occasional rubbing).
