Description: | This model is of the sea anemone Phellia gausapata, which was first described by Gosse in 1868 from specimens found in Scottish waters. The model was made by the Blaschkas, a family of highly skilled glassworkers. Several lots of models were bought for the Newcastle Museum between 1865 and 1870. Phellia gausapata often lives among kelp in exposed situations, often on vertical rock surfaces.
