This vintage demijohn from 1950s Czechoslovakia features a tall, cylindrical glass bottle enclosed in hand-woven, natural light beige wicker. The robust basketry, executed in alternating horizontal and vertical weaves, highlights the rustic spirit and craftsmanship of mid-century Central Europe. At the neck, a carefully braided collar with an integrated, arched handle offers both functionality and a unique decorative accent. The original color-matched cork stopper completes the ensemble, while the demijohn’s proportions—slightly taller than typical table bottles—emphasize its vertical stance. Subtle tonal variations and visible handwork details speak to the authentic, artisanal quality of the period. Condition: very good; the wicker and cork remain intact, the glass shows no chips or cracks.Within this vessel echoes can be heard of post-war Central European rural life—its glass core enveloped in soothing, geometric wicker, telling a story of days when utility was inseparable from mindful craftsmanship. Every interlaced strand recalls long evenings and summer moments, holding fragments of light and shadow as though the demijohn itself invites discovery of the slow rhythm of the 1950s. The sun-warmed apron of wicker, gently touched with patina, recalls enduring values of simplicity and usefulness.The demijohn may be placed atop an oak console or near a fireplace, serving as a focal point in a rustic living room or a vintage-inspired kitchen.

It readily finds its place in collector’s cottagecore settings, or among natural wood interiors where it becomes a decorative nod to an
