Antique Tequila Distillery Demijohn Bottle, Blow Molded Cup Bottom, Amber Glass

  

Antique Tequila Distillery Bottle, Blow Molded, Amber Glass, Demijohn mid 1800s. Im not a glass expert.

This appears to be blow molded with a finished neck and a crude cup molded bottom common to Demijohn production 1870s. More or less 150 years old. In the photo it looks like a seam around the bottom edge. Its NOT a seam on the bottom. The bottom and the sides look continuous.

The glass shows signs of a crudely made mold and the surface has wear indications of a wicker outer covering. The neck and opening are fashioned in a way that is common for this time period. The color of the glass also is common to this period and this application. Volume approximately 12 liters (+/-).

It is a really nice amber colored glass with broad shoulder and tapered body. It was used in the Tequila distribution process from the distillery. I found this in an old warehouse / barn and the old woman I bought this from told me that it was used by the old tequila distilleries for finished product. The last photo I have here are examples of other Tequila bottles used during this time. The bottle displayed to the far left / middle resembles the bottle being offered here and from the same region. There is a small stone embedded in the shoulder of the bottle.

See other imperfections in backlit photos along with the transparency, bubbles and color of the glass. This is a beautiful, large old Demijohn glass bottle.

I will insure to full value. The carton will have to be quit large. Please ask any questions or provide any comments.
