Vintage Mignonnette Verokee Pastis Green Mint, rare vintage liqueur

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This antique miniature bottle is a Verokee aniseed liqueur miniature, identifiable by its colorful original label. The visible side features "VEROKEE" in blue letters, above "Liqueur Anisée" and "Pastis + Menthe," clearly printed in red and green. The liquid inside has an intense green hue, typical of mint liqueurs, enhancing the retro and authentic look of the piece.

The compact bottle is sealed with a silver-colored screw cap, which is not oxidized, and its grooves are clearly visible. The vintage label also displays graphic ornaments, including a central coat of arms, stylized floral motifs, and the inscription "Tradition Provençale" on a green ribbon, as well as several medals or quality symbols. The producer's address is also visible: "Janot, 13 Aubagne," along with the capacity "2cl" inscribed at the bottom right of the label.

The overall design of the label, with its vibrant colors and typography, suggests a production from the 1970s or 1980s, a period when this type of presentation was common for French miniature spirits. The mention "Pastis + Menthe" highlights a Provençal regional specialty, combining anise and the freshness of mint.

The glass surface is smooth and slightly shiny, with no apparent molded decoration on the visible side. No chips or cracks are visible on this side. The label, though old, remains legible, with some discreet traces of wear and patina, attesting to the object's true age. The whole retains a vintage charm, perfect for display on a shelf dedicated to antique spirits or as retro decoration.

The item is second-hand and sold as is. The visible signs of age on the label are consistent with its authenticity and age.

Did you know? Alcohol miniatures, or mini bottles, were originally produced to allow travelers to discover different liqueurs without buying large quantities. In France, mint pastis experienced a peak in popularity in the mid-20th century, particularly in the south, where it was appreciated for its freshness during hot summers.
