The French glass demijohn has a long tradition in winemaking regions across France, and examples of this quality and size were typically blown by hand in regional glasshouses from the 18th century onward.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe body is blown in a soft olive green glass with a pronounced teardrop or balloon form, wide at the base and tapering smoothly to a narrow cylindrical neck. The applied collar at the mouth is hand-formed with a slightly irregular, scalloped finish characteristic of hand-blown production. Close inspection of the glass surface reveals numerous small air bubbles trapped within the walls, along with minor surface inclusions and faint tool marks running vertically along the neck — all consistent with hand production rather than mould manufacture. One area on the lower body shows traces of old residue and minor surface pitting, likely from long storage. A visible seam runs along part of the body. These details confirm age and handmade origin. No cracks or chips are present on the rim or body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDimensions are approximately 26cm wide x 42cm tall \/ 10.2\" wide x 16.5\" tall as stated by the seller. The capacity is estimated at 20 to 25 litres based on these proportions. The flat base allows the piece to stand securely without support.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs a decorative object, this French glass demijohn works well displayed on a sideboard, floor or shelf, used as a floor vase with dried botanicals, or as a statement piece in a kitchen or cellar-inspired interior. It is also sought after by collectors of antique French glassware and winemaking equipment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e95% of my items are tariff-free to the US.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-optimised --\u003e\n\u003c!-- fmf-shopify --\u003e","brand":"Fleamarketfrance","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57691387953496,"sku":"224670924418_ECB8_68E0_0546","price":177.95,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0895\/5776\/2392\/files\/57_eb99a00f-18c6-4e93-a056-9721c00990f6.jpg?v=1783777361","url":"https:\/\/fleamarketfrance.com\/products\/french-dame-jeanne-green-glass-demijohn-1107263","provider":"Fleamarketfrance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
