Vintage Anisette Cusenier mignonnette bottle, old blue label, alcohol

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a vintage mignonette bottle, as shown in the photo, from the Cusenier brand. It is a small liqueur bottle, typical of alcohol samples or miniature formats, here dedicated to anisette. The general shape is characteristic of mignonettes: a short, rounded body, a long, narrow neck, topped with a white cap that appears to be plastic or similar (material not specified). The original label is present on the visible side, with a blue and white graphic design: "anisette" is clearly legible in black letters and "CUSENIER" in white capital letters on a blue background. The top of the label is decorated with a stylized crown, an emblematic graphic element of some Cusenier productions.

The bottle is transparent, clearly showing the absence of liquid inside. The rounded label shows some signs of age: slight traces of wear, small dirt marks, and visible patina, typical of an object that has passed through several decades. There is also a slight yellowing of the paper, but this does not affect the readability of the text or the visual impact of the crown and colors. The glass appears intact on the visible side, with no visible chips or cracks.

The dominant color of the label is a vibrant blue, contrasting with the creamy white background and the black lettering. The typography, sober and modern, as well as the graphic style, evoke productions from the second half of the 20th century, probably between the 1960s and 1980s, although this cannot be stated with certainty in the absence of other dated clues. The Cusenier logo, a French brand renowned for its liqueurs and spirits, reinforces the vintage authenticity of the object.

This mignonette stands out for its compact size and neat presentation, typical of advertising objects or brand souvenirs. The long, slender neck, as well as the white cap, complete the classic look of this type of bottle. No contents are visible inside, confirming the decorative or collectible nature of this flask.

On the lower part of the label, small inscriptions are partially visible: "SOCAL PARIS" and a number, details that confirm its French origin and original edition. The photographed side does not show any other specific inscriptions or decorations.
