Hi I recently found a big green glass jug. It is 22.5 inches tall, and has the number 24 on the bottom. Any information would help. date, what it was used for, worth. Thanks a lot.
This is a later 19th century demijohn or carboy used for transporting wine or other bulk liquids. The applied band on the neck suggests a continental Europe origin.
There was a time when these were strictly the interest of bottle collectors but in recent years the decorator and decorative antiques world has caught on to these as attractive accessories.
The value falls in the $50 to $150 range - ultimately it depends on how and where you market such an object.
