Miniature bottle vintage Theo Preiss Alisier liqueur 3cl 45% Mittelwihr

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This listing is for a vintage Theo Preiss miniature liquor bottle, as shown in the photo. It is a small, elongated, square-section bottle, topped with a gold screw cap. The front label, with its traditional design, clearly states: "THEO PREISS MITTELWIHR 68 – Alisier – 3 cl – 45° – Artisan Distillateur" (Artisan Distiller). The bottle contains a clear liquid, typical of eaux-de-vie. The overall appearance is authentic and retro, characteristic of 20th-century Alsatian artisanal products.

The oval label shows signs of age: visible patina, small stains, handling marks, and slight wear around the edges. The typographic characters are handwritten and slightly irregular, enhancing the artisanal charm of the piece. The bottle's glass is smooth, transparent, with slight reflections. The screw cap features a gold finish, with no particular decoration visible on the presented side.

The ensemble evokes the aesthetic of regional miniature liquor bottles from the 1960s to the 1980s, particularly through the typography and label style. The inscription "Mittelwihr 68" specifies the geographic origin in Alsace, a region renowned for its family distilleries and rare fruit eaux-de-vie. The indication "Alisier" refers to an eau-de-vie made from service tree (alisier) fruits. The indicated volume is 3 cl, with an alcohol content of 45°.

The bottle is presented upright, photographed on a varnished wooden support, which is not included in the sale unless otherwise specified. No other accessories or elements are visible in the image. The general condition suggests a miniature bottle carefully preserved but bearing the mark of time on its label.

Condition
Used item, sold as is. Presence of wear and patina on the front label, slight visible marks and stains. The cap appears intact on the visible side. The liquid level seems consistent with an old, unopened miniature bottle. For any questions, please feel free to request additional photos.
