Spectacular old damajuana, retains handles and cover, made of wicker and esparto, in perfect condition except small broken in the back (see photo). The damajuana was a traditional element in agriculture and life of the last century, its main use was to move and store wine, liquors or water and were always lined with wicker or esparto grass and with handles to move them easily. Another use was to wet the outer vegetal layer to better maintain the temperature of the liquid contained inside, but the really curious thing is the following anecdote: in the s. XVI queen juana I of naples, took refuge, during a storm, in the workshop of a glassmaker in grasse. Upon entering he was interested in the process of making some bottles, the artist was amazed by the interest shown that he decided to inflate one of enormous proportions, to show off before the sovereign.
