AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Detailed Visual Description

Miniature advertising bottle for an aperitif, Ricard brand, "Pacific" model. The bottle is made of transparent glass with a slender shape and a long, narrow neck. The liquid inside is a pale yellow-green color, typical of non-alcoholic anise-flavored drinks. The clearly visible front label features vintage graphics: a white background adorned with gray decorative motifs, PACIFIC lettering in deep blue on a yellow band, and the mention "de RICARD" in yellow on a blue background. A stylized sailboat on the sea is depicted in the center of the label, with the phrase "un goût plus léger" (a lighter taste) in the lower part. The screw cap is made of silver-colored metal, stamped "PACIFIC" in blue on the top.

The bottle shows a patinated appearance, with some visible signs of wear on the label: slight marks, crumpled corners, and discoloration in places, which attests to its age. No chips or cracks are visible on the presented side. The liquid level has partially dropped, a common characteristic of this type of old miniature.

The typography and design of the label, as well as the metallic screw cap, suggest production from the 1980s to 1990s, though this cannot be stated with certainty. The overall impression is one of authentic retro advertising, typical of period bar items or display cabinets.

The general presentation of the bottle in the photo highlights its vibrant colors and decorative appeal. The label occupies a large part of the visible side, making the brand and model immediately recognizable to the buyer.

This type of miniature bottle is sought after for bar decoration, display in showcases, or as a curiosity item related to the history of French anise-flavored drinks.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. Presence of wear on the label, slight patination of the cap, incomplete liquid level. See photos for details of the visible side.

Did you know? Pacific is a brand registered by Ricard in 1982, designed as a non-alcoholic alternative to traditional pastis and anise-flavored aperitifs. Its recipe, based on natural anise flavors, aimed to offer the taste of pastis while appealing to an audience looking for lighter consumption, particularly in professional settings or at family events.
