This is a beautiful antique ovoid shape Demijohn, circa 1740-1830. It was hand-blown without mould, no steams, 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. Magnifique!
