Antique Green Blown Glass Carafe

A singular object from glass craftsmanship, this gourd-shaped carafe captures the eye with its atypical architecture and historical details. Its original design and luminous hue easily integrate into a contemporary or classic interior, adding a touch of character and curiosity.

This model stands out with its flat silhouette cleverly pierced by a central hole in the shape of a donut, a technique characteristic of blown glass work. The body is accentuated on its sides by delicate scalloped glass cords applied hot. The most unusual element remains its stopper: it is made from a genuine piece of old currency (left in its original state and dated 1769), topped with a small metal ring for easy handling. Made from translucent bottle green glass, the whole piece beautifully plays with light.

Originally designed for serving liqueurs or simply as a collector's bottle, this object offers superb decorative possibilities. It transforms with great elegance into a sculptural vase.
