Vintage Mignonette Glen Garry Scotch Whisky Empty Bottle Decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique miniature bottle features a Glen Garry Scotch whisky, identifiable by its clearly visible vintage label on the front. The small bottle (miniature type) is made of clear glass with a short neck and a silver-toned screw cap, on which a partial inscription "HOPKIN" is visible. The paper label, slightly aged, bears the mention "PRODUCT OF SCOTLAND" and clearly states "GLEN GARRY Blended SCOTCH Whisky," with typography characteristic of mid-century productions. The red color of the word "SCOTCH" provides a touch of contrast against the cream background of the label.

The label also details the alcohol content at 43° G.L., specifying that it is a blended Scotch whisky distilled and blended in Scotland. The producer's name, "JOHN HOPKINS & CO. LTD., DISTILLERS, GLASGOW, SCOTLAND," is legible at the bottom, with an additional mention of the Elgin-Glenlivet distillery in Longhorn, Scotland. This authentic presentation, typical of Scottish whisky miniatures from past decades, gives the object a distinct vintage style.

The bottle has a classic, slightly squat shape with rounded shoulders and a stable base. The transparency of the glass allows one to see that it is now empty. The label, though aged, remains generally legible and firmly attached. No other decoration or motif appears on the visible side, which is consistent with the aesthetic codes of traditional Scottish spirits.

This type of Glen Garry whisky miniature, with its original inscriptions and sober presentation, is a fine example of antique advertising bottling, appreciated for decoration or to enhance a vintage bar. The signs of wear and the patina of the label attest to the object's authenticity and age.

Did you know? Glen Garry is a historic brand of blended Scotch whisky produced by John Hopkins & Co Ltd, a company founded in Glasgow in the 19th century. Miniatures were often used for promotion in bars and hotels, or given as gifts during international travel, particularly during the golden age of duty-free in the 1950s-1970s.
