This large French green glass demijohn is paired with its original rusted iron vintner’s basket, offering an authentic and sculptural piece of wine-making history. Handblown in the traditional style, the glass features delicate bubbles, gentle surface variations, and a slightly irregular rolled rim — all hallmarks of artisanal French glasswork.
Once used to store wine or cognac after barrel aging, the demijohn has been thoroughly cleaned, though faint remnants of the original contents remain inside as a charming nod to its past. The original iron basket, now free of its burlap and hay lining, showcases a beautifully timeworn patina and curved metal frame, adding rustic character and textural contrast.
Together, the glass and basket create a striking decorative statement. Whether styled as a standalone sculptural piece, grouped with other vessels, or repurposed as a one-of-a-kind lamp base, this duo brings old-world warmth and quiet drama to any interior. See less
