— HISTORIC NOTE —
The blown glass technique is a manufacturing technique that dates back to the 1st century BC.
It is characterized by using the soap bubble method, that is, bubbles are created in the raw material of the glass. The bubbles are created by literally blowing the molten glass then working it with various metal tools until the desired shape is achieved.
With the use of different minerals and chemical compounds, different colors and characteristics are achieved.
Very few companies currently use this type of manufacturing due to its cost and difficulty.
This antique glass vase can continue to be used as a demijohn vase to preserve food or as a decorative demijohn vase in any of your favorite spaces.
Our antique demijohn vases are unique pieces specially selected to be part of timeless spaces and combine perfectly with any of our antique sideboards and cabinets .
