Vintage bottle Marc Du Valais Schloss Worb, glass flask, rare

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an antique bottle of the flask type, visible in the photo, from the brand "Marc Du Valais" and bearing the inscription "Schloss Worb". This flask is distinguished by its compact, rectangular silhouette with rounded edges, a flat base, and a short neck topped with a silvery metallic-looking stopper, vertically ribbed. The front label, in good condition and clearly legible, features a vertical brown background with the inscription "MARC DU VALAIS" in black capital letters, followed further down by "Schloss Worb" in dark red. A stylized coat of arms, illustrated with two blue stars on a white background and red elements, adorns the lower part of the label, accompanied by a delicate drawing of a castle in the background.

The flask is made of transparent glass with a matte finish, revealing the colorless liquid inside. The overall appearance evokes a sober design, typical of eau-de-vie or spirits bottles from the mid to late 20th century, without superfluous ornamentation. The transparency of the glass highlights the purity of the content, while the silver stopper, with regular vertical reliefs, adds a distinctive visual touch. No major defects are visible on the front face: no chips or noticeable scratches.

The label is well-centered, with no signs of peeling or significant discoloration on the visible part. The heraldic motif and typography suggest careful production, likely intended for the regional spirits market. The inscription at the bottom of the label reads "LANDW. DESTILLERIE WORB", confirming the Swiss and artisanal origin of the product. The perfectly clear liquid inside suggests proper preservation of the content.

The bottle is photographed against a wooden bookshelf background, which does not influence the object but highlights its decorative potential. The shape of the flask and the presence of a coat of arms make it an interesting piece for display on a bar, shelf, or in a display case, especially in a retro or vintage context. The general style is reminiscent of traditional Swiss productions, with a visual identity marked by sobriety and the print quality of the label.

The metallic-effect stopper, with its vertical striations, completes the ensemble by giving it a slightly luxurious appearance, while remaining in the refined spirit of regional white spirits bottles. No other details (serial number, vintage, signature) are visible on the presented face.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible front shows no noticeable defects. The liquid level appears full, but only the front is visible in the image.

Did you know? "Marc du Valais" is a Swiss specialty obtained by distilling pressed grape residues, typical of the canton of Valais. Worb Castle, mentioned on the label ("Schloss Worb"), is a historic building located in the canton of Bern, which gives this bottle a double regional Swiss cultural origin.
