AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description
This listing is for a vintage miniature bottle of the St Raphaël brand, identifiable as a wine-based aperitif sample. The bottle has a classic slender shape, with a long neck and prominent shoulders, typical of miniature bottles from the 1960s. The visible side shows an original label in dominant red, gold, and white colors, with the lettering "St Raphaël" in stylized white script on a red background, and the mention "ROUGE EXPORT". The central visual of the label features a detailed ornamental motif and a red medallion illustrating a character, an emblematic graphic signature of the brand.

The label also bears the mentions "APÉRITIF À BASE DE VIN" (WINE-BASED APERITIF) and "APÉRITIF DE FRANCE" (APERITIF FROM FRANCE), as well as the volume of 5 cl and an alcohol content of 16%. The bottom part of the label displays the address of the St Raphaël company in Paris. The golden cap is clearly visible and appears to be original. The liquid inside is a dark red hue characteristic of St Raphaël Rouge.

This antique miniature, typical of French productions from the 1960s, is distinguished by the preservation of its original label and cap. The vivid colors of the label, the decorative golden elements, and the retro typography enhance the vintage and authentic character of this small promotional bottle.

In the photo, only the front of the bottle is visible: the original label shows some signs of wear and dirt, particularly on the lower part, indicative of prolonged storage. No chips or cracks are visible on the visible part of the glass. The surface of the golden cap shows slight signs of oxidation.
