AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Description
This miniature bottle features a Black & White whisky, an iconic Scottish brand. The bottle, clearly visible in the photo, is made of translucent green glass, with a classic cylindrical shape and a short neck. The white metal screw cap features a printed black arrow, typical of old opening systems. The front label, slightly aged and marked by time, clearly states "Black & White – Choice Old Scotch Whisky" as well as "James Buchanan’s" and shows a capacity of 0.05 L (5 cl) with an alcohol content of 40% vol. The illustration also shows the famous black and white dogs, symbols of the brand. The label has some visible signs of wear, including stains and discoloration, indicating its age.
The overall design, typography, and presentation of the label confirm a vintage style, consistent with miniatures distributed in the second half of the 20th century. The inscription "IMPORTATEUR SOVEMA – 16100 FRANCE" appears at the bottom of the label, adding an additional identification detail. No details are visible on the back or bottom of the bottle in this photo.
The green color of the glass and the white cap create a sharp contrast, enhancing the classic and retro look of this miniature. The item is photographed standing on a flat surface, with good legibility of the label despite the wear. No chips or cracks are visible on the front of the bottle.
The overall presentation evokes advertising items or bar souvenirs from past decades. This type of miniature was often distributed at events, or offered in tasting sets and hotel bars. The aged appearance of the label enhances the vintage character of the piece.
