Ship model
Novelty lampworked glass model of HMS 'Victory' in a domed wooden case. She wears a Union flag at the foremast, the flag of an Admiral of the White at the main and the white ensign at her stern. A slightly more accurate model than the typical sort produced by itinerant Victorian lampworkers. The maker has attempted to show the flags correctly, although at Trafalgar 'Victory' flew a St George's cross at the foremast and the Union flag from the fore-topgallant stay.
