Mignonette Prunellia Cusenier old vintage alcohol bottle bar decor

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description This listing is for a mignonette, meaning a small sample bottle of alcohol, from the Cusenier brand. The item pictured is a miniature bottle, made of clear glass, with a curved shape characteristic of liqueur bottles. The bottle has a long, narrow neck, a rounded shoulder, and a cylindrical body that is wider at the base. It is sealed with a white cap, whose texture and appearance are reminiscent of the metal caps covered with paper typical of mid-20th century productions.

On the front, the original label is clearly visible. It has an oval shape, with a dark background (probably dark green or black) and gold or orange lettering. The name "prunellia" appears in stylized lowercase letters, topped with a graphic motif evoking a crown or coat of arms. Just below, the mention "CUSENIER" is clearly legible. This graphic presentation and typography suggest a production dating probably from the 1950s to 1970s, a period during which the Cusenier brand was renowned for its liqueurs and spirits.

The liquid level inside is low, revealing a slight yellow-green coloration at the bottom, typical of a sloe-based liqueur. The transparency of the glass allows the clarity of the remaining content to be observed. There are also some signs of wear on the label, as well as a slight patina on the bottle, testifying to the age of the item and its authenticity.

The white cap shows some visible marks and irregularities on the upper part, without, however, showing any apparent signs of rust on the visible area. No other decorative elements or inscriptions are observable on this side of the bottle.

The whole perfectly evokes the style of promotional alcohol mignonettes produced for promotion or tasting, and can also be suitable for vintage decorative use (bar, display case, retro shelf).

Condition Used item sold as is, with visible signs of use: partially patinated label, low liquid level, marked cap. See photo for more details on the general condition.

Did you know? The Cusenier house, founded in 1868 in Ornans, is famous for its fruit-based liqueurs and aperitifs. "Prunellia" is a specialty made from wild sloes, macerated and then distilled, a tradition inherited from French regional aperitifs of the early 20th century.
