OK...so here's the other demijohn (?) that I got...here's the first pic with it covered in the wicker (which was really more like twigs than wicker)...the bottom was already off of it...so I knew it wasn't pontiled...it was "kicked up"...but I really liked the lip on it...(is this considered a demijohn ? just because of the wicker ? because I remember the post about the beer bottle with wicker...but then that's a beer bottle...so what do you think this was for...the glass is a lot thinner in the middle and it's taller...don't recall any seams on it at all?

Hi Tinna, very nice! Interesting lip on that one.. to answer your question, wicker does not make a bottle a demijohn.. demijohns are defined mainly by their large size, and use as storage or transport containers, rather than on the supper table.. how big is that one?

Very nice, Tinna.

I'm in Orlando right now visiting with my daughter this week.
I'm flying back to New Hampshire tomorrow and I hope that Hurricane Danny won't be a factor in my getting back home.[&:]

It's at home - and I'm at work - I'll measure it and get back with you on Monday...but I know it's at least 20 inches maybe 22...
