Trouver French Antiques & Other Treasures Demi Johns

These are authentic antique pieces sourced from France and Europe, dating between the 17th and 19th centuries. They are genuine vintage items, not modern reproductions.

No. Because these were handblown using traditional techniques, you should expect subtle irregularities, such as small bubbles or slight variations in thickness. These imperfections are part of their historical character and artisanal appeal.

The knife-cut finish is a specific detail found on some 19th-century pieces where the glass was trimmed by hand while still malleable. It serves as a hallmark of the period's craftsmanship and adds a unique, tactile texture to the bottle's opening.

While they were originally used for wine or olive oil, these antique bottles are best suited for decorative purposes today. They are not dishwasher safe, and we recommend using them for display rather than food-grade storage.

We recommend gentle hand-cleaning with a soft cloth and mild, non-abrasive soap. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive scrubbers, as these can damage the aged surface of the antique glass.

The bottles come in a range of translucent shades including green, aqua, and light blue. Because each piece is unique and aged differently, the exact hue and intensity of the color will vary from bottle to bottle.
