Description

This is an antique miniature alcohol bottle, known as a mignonette, from Theo Preiss, as shown in the photo. It is a small bottle with a tapered silhouette, a long neck, and a rounded triangular base, typical of regional alcohol mignonettes. The bottle is sealed with a golden screw cap, clearly visible at the top. The transparent glass reveals a colorless liquid, suggesting a clear spirit, consistent with the label.

The round paper label, with an aged ecru background, bears the following inscriptions, all legible: "THEO PREISS ARTISAN DISTILLATEUR", "MITTELWIHR 68", "Marc de Gewurztraminer", "3 cl", "45% vol.". The typography and design of the label suggest an artisanal production from the second half of the 20th century, though a more precise date cannot be determined.

The bottle has a slender shape and clear transparency. The label shows signs of age: patina, small spots, and wear marks, visible across its entire surface, which enhances the vintage character of the item. The golden cap has a glossy finish, with no visible decoration on the exposed area.

The item is photographed on a carved wooden stand, which is not included in the sale, but highlights the presentation of the mignonette. No other sides or details of the back of the bottle are visible in this image.

This is a regional spirits miniature, sought after by collectors of mignonettes, antique alcohols, or retro items related to Alsatian artisanal distillation. The mention "Marc de Gewurztraminer" specifies the nature of the spirit, made from the distillation of Gewurztraminer grape pomace, a specialty of the Alsace vineyard.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The bottle appears complete and unopened in the visible area. The label shows signs of wear, patina, and small visible spots, consistent with the age and authenticity of the item.

Did you know? Marc de Gewurztraminer is a traditional Alsatian eau-de-vie, obtained by distilling the solid residues (pomace) from the winemaking process of the Gewurztraminer grape variety. The Theo Preiss distillery, founded in 1945 in Mittelwihr, is renowned for its artisanal eaux-de-vie and small-batch productions, often packaged in miniatures for promotion or collection.
