Vintage mini bottle of Theo Preiss sloe gin 3cl mignonette France

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Old miniature alcohol bottle from the Theo Preiss brand, visible in the photo as a small clear glass bottle. This mignonette-style bottle has a slender silhouette with soft shoulders and a long neck topped with a gold-colored screw cap. The liquid content, a clear, slightly amber hue, highlights the transparency of the glass and the retro-designed label.

The oval label, affixed to the front, bears the following inscriptions: "THEO PREISS", "MITTELWIHR 68", "Liqueur de Prunelle", "35°", "3 cl", "DISTILLATEUR". The black lettering, with typography characteristic of the 1960s-1970s, evokes a vintage Alsatian style. The mention "68" refers to the Haut-Rhin department, a traditional distillation region in France.

The visual aspect is typical of miniature liqueur bottles intended for tasting or presentation, with a sober and utilitarian finish. The golden cap, visible on top, shows slight signs of wear and a few marks, indicating prolonged storage or moderate handling. No chips or cracks are visible on the photographed part of the glass.

This mignonette displays a beautiful period patina, enhanced by the slight yellowing of the liquid and the slightly aged appearance of the label. The mention "Liqueur de Prunelle" indicates a sloe liqueur specialty, a fruit traditionally used in artisanal distillation in Alsace. The ensemble evokes artisanal French production, sought after for its visual authenticity.

The bottle is placed on a wooden support, which highlights its elongated shape and emphasizes the contrast between the transparency of the bottle and the warm texture of the wood. No other accessories are visible, only the main face of the mignonette is shown in this photograph.

Condition: This item is pre-owned and sold as is. The label shows slight marks and the golden cap shows small traces of wear, with no major defects visible on the photographed side.
