Description

The vintage miniature alcohol bottle shown in the photo is a grappa mignonette, identifiable by the label "Grappa Barellina Invecchiata". The bottle has a classic shape, with a short, straight neck topped by a dark, matte-looking cap, probably made of plastic or wax, with no precise material indicated on the label. The mini-bottle features a label illustrated with a drawn male profile portrait, with Italian text and period graphic elements on a light background.

The label mentions "Invecchiata di pura vinaccia" as well as "Prodotto e imbottigliato da Morandini," which indicates a traditional Italian product, likely from past decades. The inscriptions also state "Marchio depositato," typical of old productions. The overall presentation, as well as the typography and graphics, evoke a vintage style, probably mid to late 20th century.

The bottle is displayed on a rustic wooden stand, highlighting its authentic and retro appearance. The contained liquid, still visible, underscores the integrity of the mignonette. No capacity or volume estimate is indicated in the image, and only the front face is visible. The bottle's surface appears clean, with no apparent chips on the visible part. The label shows slight signs of wear, typical of an old object, but remains clearly legible and complete.

The cap is well-fitted and shows no signs of opening or visible leakage. The overall presentation emphasizes the decorative and collectible nature of this alcohol mignonette, ideal for a display cabinet or showcasing in a vintage interior.

Condition

Used item sold as is, with minor signs of wear on the label and slight patina on the cap. No apparent structural defects on the visible side.

Did you know? Grappa is an Italian brandy made from grape pomace. The mention "invecchiata" indicates aging in barrels, giving the grappa more complex aromas and an amber color depending on the aging period. Alcohol mignonettes were commonly produced for promotion or as souvenirs in the 1960s-1980s.
