Vintage mignonette green bottle with gold cap to identify

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique miniature bottle is a small green glass bottle with a golden screw cap. The bottle has the characteristic appearance of liquor miniatures from the mid-20th century, with a long neck and a defined shoulder. The label, with a patinated appearance and partially faded by time, reveals a few mentions in French, notably "Grande Distillerie de...", "3 cl", "Réserve...", as well as some barely legible numbers and letters. This type of presentation evokes miniatures distributed for tasting or promotion of spirits, often used as advertising objects or bar souvenirs.

The bottle is placed in front of an ornamental, old-style background, highlighting its authentic and retro appearance. The golden, notched-finish cap is clearly visible on top of the bottle. The overall object suggests decorative or collection use, typical of old bar accessories or display cases dedicated to alcohol miniatures.

The glass surface shows a slight sheen, while the aged paper label shows signs of wear, stains, and faded areas. The main mentions remain partially legible, which adds to the vintage charm of the piece. No content is visible on this side, and the bottle appears empty or unfilled, the condition of the liquid not being observable in this image.

The general style of the miniature bottle, the typography of the label, and the shape of the bottle allow the object to be placed in a probable period ranging from the 1950s to the 1970s. This type of miniature bottle was commonly offered at events, distillery visits, or sold in discovery sets.

The golden metallic screw cap is typical of French industrial production of the 20th century. The label, although altered, bears witness to careful manufacturing, with traditional typographic printing.

Did you know? Alcohol miniatures, often called "miniatures," were particularly popular in France from the 1950s onwards, both for promoting spirit brands and for sale as souvenirs in bars or wine shops. Some models are now sought after for their typographic labels and emblematic shapes, testifying to the evolution of packaging in the alcohol industry.
