AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Vintage miniature alcohol bottle from the Boario brand, visible on the front thanks to the label printed "BOARIO Elisir China". This small bottle is distinguished by its classic shape with rounded shoulders and a long neck, topped with a bright red cap. The yellow label, adorned with stylized red patterns at the bottom, features black and red typography typical of 20th-century Italian spirits products. The Italian inscriptions indicate the composition and manufacturer, with a retro aesthetic faithful to the tradition of vintage liqueurs.

The visible side shows an amber liquid inside, characteristic of quinine-based elixirs. The label, well-preserved despite some slight traces of time, clearly displays the inscriptions and original graphics. The contrast between the dominant yellow and the red touches catches the eye and immediately evokes the vintage atmosphere of old bars and aperitifs.

The red cap has a uniform glossy finish, with no apparent chips on the visible part. The transparent glass of the bottle clearly shows the contents and does not show significant alteration on the front surface. The whole attests to a carefully preserved object, ideal for decoration or display in a showcase.

The design of this miniature recalls Italian productions of the 60s-70s, with its strong graphic codes and bold colors. The inscription "Elisir China" indicates a traditional quinine-based elixir, appreciated at the time for its digestive properties and its use as an aperitif.

The general appearance is that of a decorative retro object, perfect for completing a vintage ambiance on a piece of furniture, in a bar, or as kitchen decoration. Visible details, such as the stylized red arabesques on the label and the Gothic font of the word "China," reinforce the antique and authentic character of this miniature.

Condition

Did you know? "Elisir China" is an Italian liqueur made from quinine, a plant known for its tonic and bitter properties. Very popular in Italy in the 20th century, it was often served as a digestif or aperitif, and the Boario brand is among the historical producers of this type of spirit.
