This could be mid-20th century, can't tell from the picture, but looks more 1900 to me. It would not trully be a "reproduction" but perhaps a later version of an earlier style. These demijohns were made virtually the same over a long period of time, as other styles were. Case gins are another example of bottles that were made in the same style / shape for decades, even centuries.
