Newport Harbor Bottle Opener

Stylish and useful, this bottle opener features the painting, Newport Harbor, by James Nicholson, painted in 1888.  Bottle opener measures 7" long and can either lay flat on a counter or hang to store. 

Nicholson, a self-taught painter, immigrated to Newport from Scotland and worked as a master joiner on several summer cottages. This image of Newport Harbor beautifully illustrates a typical day in Newport's working waterfront of in the late 1800's, including the Eolus, a steamship which brought thousands of visitors to this city on the sea.
