Marquis d'Aguesseau antique mini bottle, vintage green alcohol mignonette

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This listing is for an antique mini bottle, known as a "mignonette", from the Marquis d’Aguesseau brand. The item shown is a small green tinted glass bottle with a black screw cap. The bottle is cylindrical, with a distinct shoulder and a long neck, typical of 20th-century alcohol mignonettes. The visible side features an original label, with period graphics, legible inscriptions, and a crest in the background.

The main label, made of paper aged by time, displays in large letters: "Vieille Fine Calvados" and "d’A. Marquis d’Aguesseau". It also includes the mention "Chais d’Herblot, Pont-l’Évêque, Calvados", as well as a printed signature and the words "Appellation Calvados des Pays d’Auge Contrôlée". The elegant typography and graphic style are characteristic of French productions from past decades, enhancing the vintage character of the piece.

The glass has a smooth and shiny appearance, with no apparent additional decoration. The liquid level is not visible in this photo, but the transparency of the glass suggests a slightly tinted bottom. The black cap with vertical ridges appears original and fits snugly on the bottle. The edges of the label show signs of wear and a few stains, indicating natural aging.

The bottle is photographed at a slight angle, placed on a carved dark wood piece of furniture, which highlights its deep green hue and the authentic look of its label. No other accessories or decorative elements are visible in the photo.

This antique mignonette is a typical example of alcohol miniatures marketed in France during the 20th century, sought after for their retro aesthetic and their interest as decorative objects or souvenirs of historic brands.
