Vintage Inca Pisco Mini Bottle DRL Italy 40ml Golden Face Flask Mignonette

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Decorative mini-bottle, a mignonette type, presented here in a shape evocative of a stylized human head, likely inspired by Inca iconography. The visible side shows a molded glass bottle with a gilded or metallic appearance, adorned with a relief resembling a smiling face. The bottle is topped with a well-fitting gilded screw cap, completing the ensemble.

The front label is perfectly legible: "INCA PISCO – Wine Distillate – Produced and Bottled by 40% alc/vol. 40 ml – D.R.L. S.P.A. Solaro Italy". The label's design, with its red border and vintage typography, reinforces the retro character of the item. The bottle still contains liquid visible through the glass.

The surface has a glossy finish, with metallic reflections across the entire molded face. The contours are sharp, the facial features well-defined: a prominent nose, a mouth outlining a smile, closed eyes, all in a naive style typical of mignonette productions from the 1960s-1980s.

The entire bottle evokes an object that is both decorative and utilitarian, designed to catch the eye, especially as part of an alcoholic miniatures collection or for an original display. The base and back of the bottle are not visible in the image.

The bottle shows reflections and slight handling marks on the visible surface, typical of an old item. No chips or cracks are discernible on this side; the label is slightly patinated but remains entirely legible.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The bottle shows superficial signs of aging, mainly micro-scratches and slight wear on the label, with no apparent structural defects on the visible area.

Did you know? Pisco is a grape brandy originating from Peru and Chile, traditionally produced from distilled grapes. In the 1960s-1980s, many European distilleries, including D.R.L. S.P.A. in Italy, marketed mignonettes with fanciful designs for the international market, often inspired by exotic or historical cultures.
