Detailed Visual Description

This lot features an old, slender, dark green glass bottle with a slightly shiny surface, typical of molded glass from the first half of the 20th century. The bottle has a tall, straight neck topped with a simple rim. The original label, clearly visible on the front, displays the name "ROC" in red letters, accompanied by "Curacao orange triple sec" and the date "1905" in an ornate upper cartouche. Stylized floral motifs framing the label enhance the retro appearance of the presentation. At the bottom of the label is "Rocher Frères, Liqueurs Saint-Etienne," indicating the origin and brand of the product.

The bottle is empty, as shown by the transparency of the glass and the absence of liquid in the photo. The stopper is present, appearing metallic or lacquered, and seems original, though its exact condition and material cannot be confirmed without further inspection. The overall aesthetic is typical of spirits marketed in the first half of the 20th century, with typography and graphic ornamentation evoking French productions of that period.

The label, though slightly patinated and showing some visible signs of wear on the lower part, remains generally legible and well-preserved. No chips or cracks are visible on the visible part of the glass. The bottom of the bottle shows a residual deposit, indicative of its prior use.

The bottle is displayed on a carved wooden tray or piece of furniture, highlighting its decorative and antique character. This presentation emphasizes the object as a decorative or display item, perfect for a vintage or retro ambiance.
