Vintage artisanal raspberry Grande Réserve liqueur miniature

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

This listing is for a vintage miniature liqueur bottle, presented in an elegant, slender clear glass bottle. The bottle features a handwritten label on the front, stating: "Distillation Artisanale - Liqueur de framboise 35° - Réserve particulière spécialement sélectionnée à Steige (Bas Rhin) par J. Pushparn". A second, rounded rectangular metal label is affixed to the neck and bears the inscription "Grande Réserve".

The bottle has a smooth surface, without superfluous decorations, highlighting the clarity of the content and the artisanal aspect of the product. The transparency of the glass reveals a clear liquid, the quantity of which appears slightly diminished, typical of old miniatures that have spanned decades. The overall shape is straight, flaring slightly downwards, with an elongated neck.

The main label, with its patinated and slightly yellowed appearance, attests to the bottle's age. The handwritten script and presentation style suggest artisanal production, likely on a small scale. The mention of Bas-Rhin and the producer's name adds a regional and authentic touch, characteristic of local manufactures of the 20th century.

The neck of the bottle is topped with a clear, smooth cap, with no apparent decoration, which suggests the original seal. The whole is presented in a polished wooden case or stand, with a careful finish, although only the front of the bottle and stand are visible in the photo.

The overall condition of the item shows some signs of age, particularly on the label and cap, but the bottle retains all its authentic charm. No chips or cracks are visible on the face shown.

Condition: This item is used and sold as is. Traces of time and use are visible, particularly on the label and cap, without affecting the integrity of the bottle.
