This is a fantastic authentic antique onion shape clear Demijohn,circa 1840-1890.
There's no seams so it was handblown without mould, it has some air bubbles and the glass is rough to the touch. The shape is really unique. 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.
Magnifique!
