Vintage green glass carboy / storage bottle / demijohn with a wood and straw .
This object was found in the Pays de Caux in Normandy and still contained old calvados, since gone... ;)
According to the legend, in 1347, Queen Jeanne took refuge in the home of a glassmaker in the hamlet of Saint Paul la Galline Grasse.
While visiting the workshops dedicated to the manufacture of bottles she impressed her host who blew so hard into his cane, that the bottle he was making became enormous, gaining the admiration of all.
He decided to market the model which he named "Reine Jeanne", in honour of his inspiration, but the sovereign preferred the name "Dame Jeanne".
Perfect for collectors or simply for adding a retro touch to your living room or kitchen.
Good condition.
