Vintage Mini Bottle Boario Elisir China Morandini 30ml Liqueur Alcohol Italy

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

An antique liqueur miniature, this compact bottle features a colorful label with graphics typical of the mid-20th century. The visible side shows a bright yellow label with black and red lettering, mentioning "BOARIO LIQUORE Elisir China MORANDINI". The bottle capacity is indicated as 30 ml and the alcohol content is 27% vol. The cap is red, with a glossy finish, and the bottle is made of transparent glass, revealing the dark amber liquid.

The label's design highlights the traditional character of the product, with decorative red motifs at the bottom and ornate typography for "Elisir China". The indication "Lic. U.T.F. BG N°39" is also visible, as well as legal mentions in Italian on the sides of the label. The overall look evokes a retro style, typical of advertising or hotel souvenir alcohol miniatures from the 1960s-1980s.

The bottle has a slender shape, typical of alcohol miniatures, with a long, straight neck, ending in a rounded shoulder. The red screw cap (or pressure cap, not visually specified) perfectly matches the label's chromatic palette. No other decorative elements are visible on the presented side.

The original liquid content is still present, of a uniform hue. The label, well-centered, shows no tears or missing parts on the visible side; the glass shows no chips or apparent scratches on this side.

This type of miniature was often offered as a sample or souvenir, particularly by Italian producers of quinine-based liqueurs ("China" in Italian), traditionally used as an aperitif or digestif.

Condition

Second-hand item sold as is. The bottle has a well-preserved label on the visible side, the cap is intact and the original liquid is still present. No major defects are visible on the front side.

Did you know? "Elisir China" is an Italian liqueur flavored with cinchona, a plant whose bark contains quinine, formerly widely used for its tonic and digestive properties. Miniatures, like this one, were frequently offered in hotels or sold as souvenirs from the mid-20th century, and some are now sought after for their label design and local history.
