Vintage Christian Drouin Pommeau de Normandie miniature, old bottle

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This antique miniature bottle represents a miniature bottle of Pommeau de Normandie, a typical aperitif from the Normandy region, identifiable by its handwritten, aged-looking label. The transparent glass bottle has an amber hue characteristic of Pommeau, with partially evaporated or oxidized contents visible through the glass. The long, slender neck is topped with a golden metallic screw cap, marked by some traces of oxidation and micro-scratches, typical of an object that has been around for several decades.

The paper label, with its handwritten design, explicitly mentions "Pommeau de Normandie" and cites the Christian Drouin distillery, located in Coudray-Rabut. The text also indicates "Distillerie des Fiefs Sainte Anne" and a complete address. The slightly yellowed appearance of the paper, combined with irregular edges and traces of humidity, reinforces the vintage character of the piece.

The bottle is distinguished by its compact shape, with rounded shoulders and a thick base. The glass shows some visible bubbles and imperfections, testifying to traditional production. The amber-to-golden-brown liquid inside enhances the authentic aesthetic of this type of Norman aperitif.

The presentation of the bottle on a golden tray, accompanied by old decorative elements in the background, highlights its decorative potential, particularly for use in a display case, on a retro bar, or in a vintage-style kitchen.

Condition

Used item sold as is. Visible signs of wear on the label (stains, crumpled edges), oxidation on the cap, sediment inside. Liquid levels partially lowered, consistent with the age of the miniature.

Did you know? Pommeau de Normandie is a traditional aperitif made from a blend of apple must and calvados.
