This large Georgian bottle and jar originates from 18th century France and follows a rustic farmhouse style. The hand-blown glass construction presents a deep burgundy colour with visible air bubbles and surface imperfections, complemented by a short tapered neck and an applied string rim. The globular body rests on a rounded base, showing a clear pontil scar at the underside resulting from its traditional manufacture. The piece measures 43 cm high, 38 cm wide, and 38 cm deep. In a modern interior, this liquid jar sits suitably upon a sideboard top as a decorative accent. The organic irregularities of the blown glass create visual interest within a living space, hallway, or dining room. It works well individually or alongside other antique glass vessels to add depth and historical character to a surface display.

FAQs

An 18th-century blown glass liquid jar, frequently referred to as a demijohn or carboy, is a high-capacity storage vessel created by hand using historical glassblowing techniques to hold or transport liquids such as wine, cider, or oil.

These vessels were created by free-blowing molten glass into a bulbous globular shape, with an applied glass string rim worked around the narrow collar to reinforce the neck and assist with securing a cork or stopper.

Authentic pieces feature characteristics such as inclusions or air bubbles suspended within the glass matrix, slight asymmetry in form, subtle tool marks, and a pontil scar on the base where the glassmaker detached the blowpipe.

A large decorative glass vessel functions effectively as a sculptural accent placed on a sideboard top, fireplace hearth, or deep window sill where natural sunlight highlights the warm tones and depth of the glass.

Dust the exterior using a dry microfibre cloth, and avoid submerging the vessel in water with extreme temperatures or applying harsh chemical cleaners that could affect the historical surface finish.
