This authentic French Dame Jeanne represents traditional 1930s era glassmaking, originally designed as a storage vessel for wine, oil, and other liquids. These distinctive demijohns showcase the practical craftsmanship of French artisans from this period.
The piece displays a bulbous dark green glass body encased within a hand-woven wicker protective covering. The natural wicker exhibits aged patina and shows traditional weaving techniques throughout its construction. Two sturdy rope handles are positioned on opposite sides for transport purposes. The green glass neck extends through the peaked wicker top, creating the characteristic Dame Jeanne silhouette.
Measuring 29cm x 41cm (11.4" x 16.1"), this demijohn shows good condition consistent with its vintage status. The wicker basket remains structurally intact with minor wear patterns typical of age. The glass displays no visible chips or cracks and maintains its original dark green coloration.
This French Dame Jeanne serves as an authentic decorative accent suitable for rustic or farmhouse interiors, while also appealing to collectors of traditional French glassware and vintage storage vessels.
