About the Item

Italian Demijohn / Carboy originally used for transporting wine (ca. early 20th Century, Italy). Bulbous ballon/teardrop form composed of attractive emerald green free-blown glass exhibiting trapped air bubbles within the glass itself with squat neck with sheared lip and applied ring. Very good, vintage condition with minimal exterior scuffing along with light interior soiling/spotting from use. Both large and small air bubbles present throughout. Deep line toward the base is a result from the glass being melded together (not damage). Both the interior and exterior of the piece have been thoroughly cleaned. Sourced in Rome, Italy. H: 25.25" x Diameter: 18.5" Other Italian and French demijohns available separately. See group shots for other examples. (This bottle is second from the right on the bottom in the group images.)

19th Century French Green Glass Demijohn or Dame Jeanne Hand Blown Bottle
Located in Birmingham, AL
A beautiful 19th century French handblown green glass demijohn or Dame Jeanne bottle, circa 1880s, having a bulbous shape and brightly colored green glass with visible bubbles and no seams, an indication that it was hand blown rather than made with a mold.
