With reports of snow and ice coming from up north, we thought it might be appropriate that this week's Find of the Week should be a wine bottle. A really big one. A demijohn, in fact.
You can see we had good reason to be taken with its style, form, character and size. It's just spectacular. Fabulous oval shape, a bit off kilter, with the cork still in the bottom. Blown glass with broken off pontil base, you can see the ridge just above the middle where it would have sat in a basket. What a great piece!
There's circular shield toward the top with numbers in it; I can make out the first two which are 19, but I can't make out the last two. A nice relatively early 20th century bottle of monumental size which never goes out of style.
I'll be listing it this week in my
Chairish shop, which is worth a look if you haven't been there yet!
Hope your week is full of sushine (and wine!) - marilyn
