Vintage Liqueur des Aravis mini-bottle from Savoie, red wax, original label

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old mini liqueur bottle from the Distillerie des Aravis in Savoie. The item presented is a miniature bottle, slender and conical in shape, topped with a red wax seal. The bottle contains a clear liquid and a visible sprig or botanical stem inside, characteristic of artisanal mountain liqueurs.

The original paper label, in apparently good condition, displays the words "Liqueur des Aravis" in a typography reminiscent of a retro style. It also features an illustrated mountain landscape, likely the Aravis massif, and various graphic elements including a Savoyard coat of arms, a medal, and a stylized seal. The inscription "Liqueur de Savoie" is clearly legible, as is information about the distillery ("Distillerie des Aravis 74220 La Clusaz").

The red wax, applied by hand, covers the neck and shows irregularities typical of old artisanal or semi-industrial production. The transparent glass clearly shows the contents and the plant stem, reinforcing the product's mountain authenticity. No cork is visible under the wax.

The front of the bottle, the only side visible in the photo, shows no major chips or structural defects. The label, well-centered, has a slight patina consistent with an old object. The overall style suggests production from the 1970s to 1980s, without absolute certainty but consistent with the graphic appearance and sealing technique.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of a light patina on the label and small irregularities on the wax of the neck. The whole remains visually attractive for an object of this era.

Did you know? "Liqueur des Aravis" is one of Savoie's traditional specialties, made from macerations of plants or buds harvested in the Aravis massif. These liqueurs are often recognized for their artisanal character and direct link to the alpine terroir.
