AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage miniature represents a miniature liquor bottle from the Solado brand, identifiable by its characteristic shape and its original label affixed to the front. The bottle is made of amber-colored glass, with a slightly hammered texture visible on the curved part. The bottle has a rounded silhouette at the base, extending into a straight neck topped with a golden metallic screw cap. The cap shows partially visible inscriptions, confirming the presence of an original cap.

On the visible side, the period label indicates "SOLADO Gran Mandarino di Sicilia" as well as the mention "Averna," an Italian house renowned for its liqueurs. A "40°" marking also appears in the center of the label, specifying the alcohol content of the product. The overall presentation evokes an old manufacturing style, typical of 20th-century Italian liqueurs.

The visual aspect of the bottle, with its brown hue and patinated label, suggests a retro style. The typography and graphics of the label are characteristic of advertising productions from the 60s to 80s. No other decoration or inscription is visible on the presented side.

The miniature is placed on a golden decorative box or stand, which is not included in the sale but highlights the contrast between the amber glass and the surrounding gold. The surface of the bottle and label shows some signs of wear, consistent with a used antique object.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with visible signs of wear on the label and cap. The bottle appears intact on the visible side, with no chips or cracks visible on the glass.
