Miniature William Pear Eau-de-Vie from Hautes Alpes, vintage 46%, Distillerie Janot

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique mignonette features a miniature clear glass bottle filled with a clear liquid. On the front, the original label is well-preserved and identifiable: it displays a large, colorful pear, associated with the name "Véritable eau de vie de poires William des Hautes Alpes" (Genuine William Pear Brandy from the Hautes Alpes). The text is printed in red and black handwritten letters, giving the whole a look that is both elegant and retro. The mention "46% vol" is clearly visible on the right, indicating a high alcohol content typical of traditional brandies.

The closure cap is made of silver-finished metal, with horizontal grooves visible all around. The bottle has a classic cylindrical shape, with soft shoulders and an elongated neck. The label also specifies the origin: "Distillerie Janot," which is legible at the bottom of the label. The graphics evoke French artisanal productions from the mid-to-late 20th century, without ostentatious elements, but with careful attention to presentation.

The liquid inside is perfectly clear, with no visible sediment or discoloration, which is characteristic of white pear brandies. The label includes a small-print explanatory text, detailing the production method from selected Williams pears harvested in the Hautes Alpes. No other markings, logos, or graphic elements are visible on the photographed side.

Condition
