Miniature bottle Sambuca Morandini vintage sweet liqueur rare alcohol

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for a miniature Sambuca liqueur bottle from the Morandini brand, as shown in the photo. It is an old mignonette, characterized by its compact size and neat presentation. The bottle has a slender shape with a rounded base that tapers towards the neck, topped with a bright red screw cap. The original label is still in place on the front, clearly legible and in good condition, displaying the inscriptions: "MORANDINI", "Sambuca", "LIQUORE DOLCE" accompanied by a graphic logo representing a snake around a glass, typical of 20th-century Italian spirits.

The color of the liquid is colorless, true to the tradition of Sambuca, a sweet anise-based alcohol. The label also mentions Italian origin: "Prodotto ed imbottigliato da MORANDINI s.r.l. nello stabilimento di Lovere", as well as the visible alcohol content "38%". The composition details are indicated at the bottom of the label: "Soluzione idroalcolica, zucchero, aromi naturali".

The label's graphics and typography suggest production dating from the second half of the 20th century, probably between the 1970s and 1980s, which corresponds to the aesthetic of mignonettes from that period. The overall presentation evokes vintage bar items and limited series once offered as gifts or souvenirs.

The bottle is photographed on an ornate wooden stand, highlighting the contrast between the transparency of the glass and the vibrancy of the red cap. No content is visible at the back or under the bottle, conforming to the only side exposed in the photo.

This Morandini Sambuca mignonette will appeal to any lover of old spirits, bar miniatures, or Italian retro design.

Used item, sold as is. The front label is well preserved, with no visible tears or major stains. The red cap is intact. Possible presence of age marks or slight wear consistent with the item's age.
