Ok Offering this lovely Aqua Green Demi-john encased in wicker with a cork stopper. The term demijohn is believed to have originated from the French word dame-jeanne (literally “Lady Jane”), which was used to describe a large, narrow-necked bottle encased in wicker. The English version, demijohn, appeared in the 17th century. Demi-johns were commonly used to ferment and store wine, particularly in home winemaking and small-scale artisanal production.
Measures 14 1/2” tall x 7” diameter widest measurement x 5 3/4” base.
This would be a unique addition to your English antique collection and would display well on so many shelves in your home.

I have been sourcing these wonderful antique pieces for over 12 years from sources who are actually digging them up in ancient rubbish sites all over England. I purchased my first antique Advertising pot when my husband and I had the wonderful opportunity to live in England in the 1980’s. Our daughter was born there and we enjoyed living in England so much we often went back to visit after returning to the US.
Interestingly, this same daughter’s husbands job moved them to London were we have enjoyed visiting our grandchildren and traveling the countryside antiquing.
On our many visits we have became friends with many of the “diggers” excavating the ancient dumpsites all over the UK and now source thousands of pots from them every year. I still love the charm they add to every room they are placed in.
