Impossible bottle

An impossible bottle is a type of mechanical puzzle. This term refers to any bottle containing an object that does not seem to fit through the bottle's mouth.

The vessel in the bottle is an impossible traditional bottle. Other common objects include fruits, matchboxes, stacks of cards, tennis balls, rackets, Rubik Cubs, padlocks, knots, and scissors. These can be placed inside the bottle using a variety of mechanisms, including building objects in bottles from smaller parts, using small objects that expand or grow in bottles, or print glass around objects.

Sending to bottle

There are several ways to put a small model ship in a bottle. The simplest way is to install the mast and raise it when the ship is in the bottle. The poles, spars, and screens are built separately and then affixed to the hull of the ship with strings and hinges so that the poles can be flattened by deck. The vessel is then placed in a bottle and the poles are drawn with a rope attached to the pole. The hull of the ship must still be able to enter through the opening. Bottles with small distortion and soft tints are often chosen to conceal small details of the ship such as hinges on poles.

As an alternative, with special tools that have long been handled, it is possible to build vessels in bottles.

With the exception of a Dutch example from the early 19th century, the vessels in the bottle looked dated from after 1860. This was probably due to the introduction of mass-produced bottles with clearer glass.

A significant collection of vessels in the bottle is the Dashwood-Howard collection organized by the Merseyside Maritime Museum.

A small object that extends naturally

A variation of a bottle that is unlikely to benefit from the opening of pine seeds when it dries. In making the display, the covered and wet cone of the appropriate size is inserted into a narrow-mouthed bottle and then left to dry in the bottle.

The fruit and vegetables in the bottle are planted by placing a bottle around a flower or young fruit and securing it to the plant. The fruit then grows to full size in the bottle.

Penny in bottle

The coin of a US cent sealed in a small bottle is a common souvenir. They are mass-produced using glassblowing techniques, by placing the coin in a semi-liquid glass glass, and then reshaping the open end into the narrow neck and mouth, finishing the bottle. Non-metallic objects need to be protected from hot glasses to prevent scorching, for example with asbestos cloth.
