The bottle has a slender cylindrical shape, topped with a silver-colored metallic screw cap, with a visible relief on the upper part of the cap. The well-preserved label displays \"PACIFIC de RICARD\" in blue and yellow letters on a white background, accompanied by an illustration of a stylized sailboat on the sea, an emblematic graphic element of the Pacific brand.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eOn the lower part of the label, the mentions \"LE PASTIS SANS L'ALCOOL\" (THE ALCOHOL-FREE PASTIS), \"SANS SUCRE\" (SUGAR-FREE), \"BOISSON AUX EXTRAITS D'ANIS\" (DRINK WITH ANISE EXTRACTS), \"SANS COLORANT\" (NO ARTIFICIAL COLORS), and the capacity \"2 cl\" are clearly visible. A thin border surrounds the label, with \"ÉCHANTILLON GRATUIT\" (FREE SAMPLE) on the left side, typical of promotional items distributed during Ricard's advertising campaigns. The liquid inside the bottle is greenish-yellow, reminiscent of the aniseed tint of alcohol-free drinks in this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe typography of the label, the sailboat illustration, and the overall style evoke a production from the 1970s to 1980s, a period during which Ricard developed the Pacific range to offer an alcohol-free alternative. The entire object testifies to a vintage advertising design, appreciated for its authenticity and retro aesthetic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe visible side of the bottle shows no apparent cracks or chips.
