AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique mignonette is a small liquor bottle from the ROC brand, visible on the front label. The slender bottle is made of green glass. The upper part features a narrow, elongated neck, ending in a smooth spout with no visible closure in the photo. The main, ornamental label displays "ROC" in red letters and indicates "Curaçao orange triple sec – Product of France" as well as "Lhera Frères" at the bottom of the label. A stylized medal and several golden decorative motifs on a beige background are also discernible, enhancing the overall vintage appearance.

A second, smaller label, located around the neck, mentions "1905" surrounded by floral decorations, suggesting a reference to a date or a particular vintage. All visible inscriptions and motifs evoke an old style, typical of mignonettes from the first half of the 20th century, without being able to assert a precise date.

The bottle is photographed on a varnished wooden cabinet, with golden decorative elements in the background, highlighting its retro and refined appearance. The glass has a uniform green color, with no additional decoration or apparent relief. The visible side is in good visual condition, with no chips or cracks observable in the photo. The front label shows slight traces of wear or patina, consistent with the object's presumed age.

The typology of this bottle corresponds to a mignonette, a term used to designate small-format liquor bottles, often intended for tasting or presentation. This type of object is sought after for its decorative value and historical interest, especially when the original brand and label are preserved.

The visible mentions ("ROC", "Curaçao orange triple sec", "Lhera Frères", "1905") identify this mignonette as a French production, associated with the tradition of liqueurs and spirits produced in the early 20th century.

Did you know? Curaçao triple sec is an orange liqueur whose origins date back to the late 19th century in France. The mention "triple sec" refers to a distillation process aimed at obtaining a purer and more aromatic liqueur, popularized notably by French houses such as Cointreau and Lhera Frères.
