French and European Handblown Antique Demi Johns Dames Jeanne

These are authentic antique Dames Jeanne sourced from France and Europe. They represent genuine 19th-century glassmaking traditions rather than modern replicas.

Because these vessels are handblown, each piece features unique irregularities, such as slight bubbles or variations in thickness. The colors, ranging from green and aqua to rare cobalt blue, are a result of the specific glassmaking techniques and materials used during their original production.

The knife-cut lip is a hallmark of 19th-century craftsmanship. It indicates that the glass was hand-finished at the opening, serving as a key identifier of the age and artisanal quality of the piece.

Yes, these demijohns were originally designed for storing wine or olive oil and remain suitable for liquid storage today. However, due to their age and delicate nature, they are most commonly used as decorative statement pieces.

These bottles are not dishwasher safe. We recommend gentle hand-washing with mild soap and lukewarm water, taking care to handle the glass delicately to preserve its antique finish.

Each bottle stands approximately 17.5 inches tall. Their substantial size and teardrop shape make them ideal for floor displays or as a focal point on a large console or table.
