Description

This old Cazanove liqueur bottle, visible in the photo, features an octagonal shape with a pronounced shoulder, typical of spirit containers from the mid to late 20th century. The bottle is topped with a golden screw cap, adorned with the Cazanove brand in red letters repeated around the edge. The main part of the bottle reveals a dark, almost black liquid, suggesting a dense liqueur, likely chocolate-based according to the label.

The front label, well-preserved despite some signs of wear and an even patina, bears the inscription "CRÈME DE CACAO" in black capital letters on a light background, accompanied by the word "Liqueur" in golden cursive script. Two colorfully illustrated cocoa pods decorate the center of the label, reinforcing the product's visual identity. The "CAZANOVE" brand is inscribed at the bottom, with the address "33700 Bordeaux-Mérignac - France" and legal mentions visible on the lower part.

The bottle is placed on a wooden table, in an indoor setting, which highlights its decorative aspect. No original stopper is visible, but the cap appears to be of the period, consistent with the general style of the 1970s to 1980s. The glass appears transparent and thick, with distinct panels and a wide base, typical of liqueur bottles from this period.

The liquid level is clearly visible and consistent, with no apparent sediment. The overall condition of the bottle and label suggests careful preservation, although signs of age and handling are noticeable (patina, micro-scratches on the glass).

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of wear marks on the label, period patina, and visible micro-scratches on the glass. The liquid level appears stable and the original cap is present.

Did you know? Founded in Bordeaux in 1814, Cazanove is one of the oldest French distilleries still in operation. It distinguished itself by producing cocoa liqueurs from the 19th century, using imported beans to develop rich and authentic aromas. Old Cazanove bottles are now sought after for their characteristic design and their history linked to the tradition of French spirits.
