A rare find on the Antiques trail - the celluloid Mermaid. Clad in masses of curls and not much else, this lovely aquatic sprite has her eyes fixed out to sea, ready to flash her fins and be off. But, maybe, just maybe, she'll stay long enough to open one last bottle of wine. Variations include other finishes, with and without foil cutter.
