Early to Mid 20th Century Clear Glass Demijohn w/ Wicker Basket 16½"

This glass demijohn rests in its original woven wicker basket, a timeless utilitarian form that carries both history and charm. Traditionally used for the storage and transport of wine, cider, or spirits, such vessels were common in rural households and cellars, where the thick glass protected liquids from light and the wicker provided strength, insulation, and ease of handling. Dating to the early to mid twentieth century, this example features clear glass and a warm, honey toned wicker basket that remains in good condition, with a pleasing natural patina developed through age and use. The even weave and intact handles reflect careful craftsmanship and practical design.

Today, this demijohn serves as a decorative accent rich in atmosphere. It makes a beautiful floor piece on its own, or can be styled as a large vase for dried branches, grasses, or seasonal stems. It also lends itself well to bohemian, countryside, or vintage inspired interiors, where natural materials and honest textures are appreciated. Whether placed in an entryway, living space, or covered terrace, it brings warmth, character, and a quiet sense of rural tradition to the home.
