Vintage Blown Glass Bulbous Demijohn Carboy in Emerald Green
Graceful antique French demijohn / carboy originally used for transporting wine (ca. early 19th Century, France). Composed of mouth blown glass with emerald hue exhibiting trapped air bubbles within the glass itself with a sheared lip and applied ring.
Appealing, large, bulbous form, measuring roughly 17.38″ Diameter x 24″H.
Dark emerald green color is best reflected in the last three images of the neck (appears lighter in the overall shots than it is in person).
Chipping present to the base’s edge, mostly contained within the glass itself — barely visible when upright, and won’t expand.
Otherwise in good, vintage condition with only minimal interior wear from use, as shown.

Vintage Blown-Glass Owl Sculpture by Don Shepherd
1971 art glass owl sculpture by Don Shepherd for Jonynas & Shepherd Studio of Queens, NY. Since he was most noted for being the lead-designer for Blenko in the 1970s-1980s and a later designer for Herman Miller, Shepherd’s earlier studio pieces are less common.
This asymmetrical, stand-alone owl sculpture shows heavily textured detail of the figure itself ‘wrapped’ in a flat, clear glass border. With its chic, modernist design, this piece is a striking decorative object.
Measures: H: 7.25″ x W: 7.5″ x D: 1.5″
Initialed and dated.
