Used
This is a fantastic authentic antique onion shape green 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.
Under embossed: "15L" (liters)
Unique Piece.
