Bottle of patience
The impossible bottle (also impossible bottle , Registered lessons or Listed ) is a model representation of a religious or everyday scene which is mounted in a bottle.
The art of putting things into a bottle is almost 300 years old. In the Allgäu and in the Ore Mountains there were already the so-called prepared dishes, also called patience bottles. Nativity scenes and passion scenes , Christ, Mary and other saints were built into bottles; you filled in the long winter evenings and earned a few groschen.
Bottles with mining motifs come from the regions in the Ore Mountains, Vogtland , Harz and Slovak Ore Mountains, which are characterized by mining. The Christmas bottle pyramids are also known in the Ore Mountains .
The Heiliggeistkugel represents a special case of the patience bottle .
A similar craft that may have the same roots is making ships in bottles .
