A Vase By Any Other Name
Lately, I’ve become obsessed with demijohns.
You know what I mean. They’re those large glass wine jugs with bulbous bodies and thin necks. Considering their proper name—and then my description—the whole thing sounds awful. But they’re perversely attractive—simple, rustic, chic. And it turns out the word demijohn is actually an alteration of “Dame Jeanne” or Lady Jane. So, that’s a bit nicer, although Lady Jane—whether pear shaped or not—might not agree.
