This is a beautiful authentic antique onion shape clear Demijohn,circa 1840-1890.
We can see two seams that show it was hand-blown in mould, the uneven shape and air bubbles trapped within its surface attest it.
The neck has a hand applied ring, circling the mouth and the lip is not smooth showing how it was broken off from the rod after being blown. Little scartches in the neck, lovely bubbles.
