Vintage mini alcohol bottle Cremidea Italy rare decor, old retro flask

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed visual description

This listing is for a vintage advertising miniature alcohol bottle, identifiable by the "Cremidea" brand on the front label. The bottle has an elongated cylindrical shape, with embossed patterns across the entire visible glass surface, reminiscent of a retro style typical of the mid-20th century. On the front, a golden label bears the legible mention "cremidea", followed by several lines in Italian: "F.LLI BOCCARDO S.P.A. ACQUI CAFFE? E ALTRI AROMI NATURALI NEL SUO STABILIMENTO DI?" (the end of the text is partially erased or obscured).

The bottle cap is bright yellow, with a green base, a color contrast that enhances the vintage character of the whole. A small dark molded accessory, representing a lantern or dome, is attached to the neck by a tie, a unique detail that adds an extra decorative touch to the object. The dark liquid inside, visible through the glass, suggests a liqueur or spirit typical of 1960s-1970s advertising miniatures.

The bottle is photographed standing upright, placed on a gold-decorated piece of furniture, under warm lighting that highlights the geometric reliefs of the glass. No graduations or volumetric indications are visible on the front. The slight wear of the label, with some missing parts and signs of rubbing, testifies to its age and authenticity as a bar item or retro decoration.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The label shows signs of wear and slight missing parts; the glass shows no visible cracks or chips on the photographed side. The cap and decorative accessory are intact. The liquid level appears to be original.
