Dame-Jeanne Vase: The Essential Of Modern Design

Nowadays, little treasures from the past are gaining popularity in decoration. A worthy representative of distant eras, the demijohn is an object which is diverted, reused and which embellishes the contemporary interior. The demijohn vase is often found in flea markets, a little dusty, but always with its generous silhouette, particularly popular in contemporary design. The demijohn, whose origin was purely functional, changes its skin to come back in tune with the times. Deavita.fr makes the presentations of the famous essential glass vase to absolutely have at home!

The demijohn vase: what is it?

The demijohn, also called carboy or carboy, represents a large glass bottle that was used at the time to store wine. Its capacity is 20 to 50 liters, but we are currently seeing new models blooming with volumes varying from miniatures to giants. The demijohn is sometimes protected by woven straw or wicker.

With the revival of the vintage trend, the demijohn vase has become an essential decorative object that pleases both by its original shape and by its subtle colors in transparency. The new models are adorned with more vivid colors (such as blue, green and pink) and take more slender shapes. It is not uncommon to see bottles of a very small size, bordering on a soliflore.
