Εμφάνιση πρωτότυπου

This vintage demijohn bottle with wicker cover is a beautiful example of Cypriot handmade craftsmanship from the mid-20th century (circa 1950s–1960s). The bottle is made of thick green glass and encased in a sturdy wicker weave. Its handwoven body protects the glass while adding rustic charm. The twisted wicker handle shows the artisan’s skill and makes it easy to carry.

In Cyprus, demijohns like this stored and transported wine, zivania, and homemade spirits. Families used them during harvests, celebrations, and gatherings. The wicker shielded the bottle from damage and kept the drink cool. Unlike mass-produced containers, this handmade piece reflects tradition, care, and practical design.

A rare detail is the original screw cap, decorated with a Greek motto: “ΧΑΙΡΕ ΚΑΙ ΠΙΕ ΕΥ” (Rejoice and Drink Well). This element adds historic value and connects the bottle to its cultural roots. Collectors treasure such details, as they highlight authenticity and story.

Today, this vintage demijohn bottle is more than storage. It serves as a decorative statement in rustic kitchens, farmhouse interiors, and antique displays. You can showcase it as a conversation piece, use it as a vase, or keep it as part of a Mediterranean wine collection. Its warm wicker tones and aged patina make it a timeless object of heritage.
