Bought that bottle at a flea market. Blue color cylinder, 13 inches tall (0,8 gallons), blown in a three-piece mold, smooth base, applied and tooled lip. No embossing.
Could it be considered a Demijohn? Is the color light cobalt blue?. How old is it?. Is it common? I paid 15€ for it (about 20 bucks).
Any comments would be appreciated.

Thanks for comments.
How could I identify a Demijohn? When a bottle could be considered a Demijohn? It's the shape? the capacity?
Thanks again,
Juan Carlos.

I was thinking amonia in specific. 3 piece mold was used to the turn of the century here. I'm not sure about your area.
