Antique Lejay Lagoute raspberry cream mignonette rare vintage

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This mignonette, shown in the photo, is an old miniature liquor bottle, typical of French productions intended for tasting or collection. Its compact, rounded shape, with an elongated neck and a dark metallic cap, is reminiscent of classic 20th-century mignonette alcohol bottle designs.

The clearly legible front label indicates "Crème de Framboise" (Raspberry Cream) in red letters, accompanied by an illustration of realistic raspberries on a green foliage background. Below, the brand "Lejay Lagoute" (Dijon, France) is visible, famous for its traditional liqueurs. The label also specifies a capacity of 5 cl and an alcohol content of 15% vol., typical information for mignonettes of that era.

The bottle has a transparent glass surface showing dark residues inside, probably linked to its age and the evaporation of the liquid. The glass features a slight relief marked with the name "Vacuours" (or similar, difficult to read), a common detail on containers of this type.

The metallic, matte-finish cap is well-fitted to the neck. The whole shows signs of patina and wear, including some stains and dirt on the glass and label, signs of a long stay in a cellar or display case.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Empty bottle, with visible wear on the label and internal deposits. The label has slight missing parts and traces of time. See photo for an accurate assessment of the condition.

Did you know? Founded in Dijon in 1841, Lejay Lagoute is one of the oldest French distilleries specializing in fruit creams. It is notably recognized for having invented crème de cassis, which has become one of the emblematic ingredients of the famous "kir" aperitif.
