AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

Old mini-bottle of Smirnoff vodka, known as a "mignonette," presented here in a visibly vintage design. The bottle is made of transparent glass, with a richly illustrated front label featuring heraldic motifs, a golden crown, and red coats of arms. The inscription "SMIRNOFF" appears at the top on a red background, surmounted by a golden frieze. In the center, the name "Pierre Smirnoff Vodka" is distinguishable in stylized letters, with the mentions "Produit en France," "5 cl," and "40% vol" at the bottom of the label. A number (probably a lot or serial number) "4267" is printed on the lower part. The cap is a screw-on type, white in color, with no visible pattern on the front.

The mignonette has a compact format, characteristic of alcohol miniatures intended for sampling or display. The label, predominantly white, red, and gold, shows slight signs of wear visible in the photo, with some marks of age (patina, small printing defects). The liquid inside still seems to be present, which is rare for this type of old object.

This mini-bottle of Smirnoff stands out for its graphic style, typical of productions from the second half of the 20th century, with a visual identity faithful to the brand. The mention "Produit en France" and the distribution by Y.C.O.M. in Paris are also visible on the label. The whole offers an attractive decorative visual for this type of bar or display cabinet item.

The overall appearance of the miniature is authentic, with thick glass at the base and a careful presentation. No decoration is visible on the back or the sides not shown. The label is adorned with golden details and coats of arms, reinforcing the vintage character and elegance of this mignonette.

This type of miniature Smirnoff bottle is particularly appreciated for evoking old advertising graphic lines and faithfully representing the brand in its historical versions. The typography used, the coat of arms motifs, and the golden frieze testify to a classic style specific to spirits of the era.
