Bring authentic vintage charm and organic texture into your space with this European wicker demijohn—a beautiful blend of utility and decorative appeal.
About This Piece
This vintage green glass demijohn is hand-wrapped in tightly woven willow wicker, complete with two side handles for easy transport or display. Originally used for storing and transporting wine or spirits, it now serves as a versatile decor piece for a tabletop, shelf, or vintage barware setup.
The green bottle inside is stamped on the rim, and its timeworn wicker adds character with a natural patina and small breaks that tell its story.
Functional History Meets Decorative Appeal
Found at a French flea market, this piece reflects the utilitarian beauty of European country living. Whether styled on its own, filled with dried florals, or grouped with other glass vessels and ceramics, the demijohn’s scale and shape offer visual impact without overwhelming a space. The blend of glass and natural fiber materials also adds subtle contrast and tactile interest to modern, rustic, or vintage interiors.
