Vintage demijohn

There are several origins attributed to the damajuana, the best known is the one that is told as an anecdote that in the s. XVI queen juana I of naples, after taking refuge from a storm in the workshop of a glazier in the village of grasse. Upon entering the craftsman's workplace, he became interested in the process of making bottles. The artist was amazed by the interest shown, so much so that the master decided to inflate one of enormous proportions, perhaps to show off before the sovereign. The result was this utensil and that in honor of her decided to baptize her as "reine jeanne", to which the queen added that it was more appropriate to call her "dame jeanne". On the other hand, there is another story or legend that associates it with the s. XVI where the sailors of the south of france called, in a funny or mocking way, dame-jeanne to the thick bottles of 10 to 20 liters, comparing them with women with a lot of weight and with many curves.
