AFW - Antique France Worldwide
Detailed visual description
Vintage advertising pin, depicting the famous Orangina bottle stylized as a smiling character. The mascot, with the rounded shape typical of the bottle, wears blue sunglasses and holds a red tennis racket, with a yellow ball beside it. The inscription "ORANGINA" appears in beige capital letters on a black background, clearly legible at the bottom. The colors are vibrant and contrasting: predominant yellow for the bottle, blue for the glasses, red and beige for the racket, and black for the overall outline of the design. The whole has a glossy finish on the surface, with an enameled or lacquered appearance. It is a retro-looking pin, typical of French advertising campaigns from the 80s-90s.
The visible side shows a slight relief, with clean outlines and precise details, particularly on the racket and hand. No manufacturer's mark is visible on the front. The object is mounted on a textile support for the photo, highlighting its decorative aspect and smooth finish.
The graphic style, with its anthropomorphic character and bold colors, clearly evokes the vintage advertising universe, and more particularly the playful imagery associated with Orangina during the late 20th century. The choice of tennis as a sports theme adds an original and dynamic touch to this promotional badge.
The surface shows a slight patina, typical of an old advertising object. No major chips or deep scratches are visible on the illustrated part, although slight signs of wear may be present (difficult to fully assess from the photo). The whole retains a beautiful freshness of colors and good legibility of the graphics.
