The Sustainable Choice

Antiques are the ultimate green purchase. By choosing historical pieces over newly manufactured goods, you completely eliminate the carbon footprint of modern mass production while preserving exceptional, timeless craftsmanship.

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.
