Sandeman Founders Reserve Port vintage old green glass mini bottle

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old mini bottle of the mignonette type, shown here in a matte green glass version. It is an advertising miniature from the Sandeman brand, famous for its Port wines. The bottle has a classic cylindrical shape with a long neck and a black screw cap, visible on the top. The bottle features a white and gold silkscreen-printed label directly on the glass, notably mentioning "SANDEMAN", "Founders Reserve Port", as well as several official inscriptions, including "By appointment to Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II", and "Est. 1790".

The visible side highlights the Sandeman logo with its iconic golden silhouette, as well as the origin "Oporto, Portugal". The inscriptions are clear and legible, giving the object an authentic and retro look. The glass surface shows a slight patina and traces of old handling, typical of objects that have passed through several decades.

The dark green tint of the glass, combined with the vintage graphics of the brand, is reminiscent of the style of mignonettes from the second half of the 20th century. No precise vintage is indicated on the visible part, but the whole presents all the visual clues of an advertising object from the 70s to 90s.

The black screw cap is intact and appears original, with no visible signs of opening on this side. The bottle is shown frontally, slightly tilted, placed on an old-looking wooden support. No content is visible or mentioned in the elements presented.

The white and gold silkscreen printing contrasts sharply with the matte glass, enhancing the decorative effect and the interest for display in a showcase or on a shelf dedicated to alcohol miniatures.
