AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Visual Description and Identification

This miniature bottle, visible in the photo, is a small raspberry eau-de-vie bottle of French origin, presented in a clear glass flask with a rectangular shape and rounded shoulders. The screw cap features a matte gold finish. The front label, on cream-colored paper, displays traditional calligraphy with red and black inlays, typical of artisanal eau-de-vie labels. The central image clearly indicates "Eau-de-vie de Framboise" (Raspberry Brandy) with an illustration of red raspberries. "45% vol." is legible in the upper left, and "4 cl" in the upper right.

The label also bears a coat of arms adorned with a red lion on a black and white background, accompanied by the inscription "Maison fondée en 1850" (House founded in 1850). At the bottom of the label, the distillery is identified: "Distillerie (Mitron Schmitt ? Hellange G.-D. de Luxembourg)". This graphic style, Gothic typography, and overall composition evoke a traditional design, often used for artisanal or regional productions, and enhance the vintage character of the piece.

The bottle is photographed in front of a carved wooden background with golden floral motifs, which highlights the antique and refined character of the presentation. No content is visible inside the flask (empty bottle), and no significant signs of wear appear on the front. The overall condition of the label appears clean, with a slight patina consistent with prolonged storage.

Condition

Used item sold as is. The miniature bottle is empty. The front label is complete and legible, with no apparent tears. The screw cap has a uniform gold finish. The bottle shows no visible structural defects on the exposed side.

Did you know? Raspberry eau-de-vie is a traditional specialty of the French-Luxembourg border regions, produced by distilling fresh fruit. Miniature bottles were often offered as souvenirs or promotional samples in distilleries from the mid-20th century, allowing people to discover different artisanal eaux-de-vie without opening a large bottle.
