Vintage Côtes de Provence retro enamel pin, wine glass design, 80s

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This vintage pin features a stylized motif paying homage to Côtes de Provence wines. The visible side displays three silhouettes of wine glasses, topped with three color splashes evoking red, rosé, and white wine respectively, in vivid shades of burgundy, pink, and yellow. At the bottom, a clear inscription "Côtes de Provence" is legible, rendered in black lettering on a light background, emphasizing the promotional and regional character of the item.

The surface of the pin has a shiny enameled appearance, highlighted by golden outlines that delineate the shapes and frame the design. The whole adopts an irregular shape, following the upper contours of the color splashes, which gives this pin a graphic appearance typical of promotional items from the 80s to 90s.

The visual, both simple and evocative, highlights the diversity of Provence wines through a minimalist artistic representation. The background is ivory, accentuating the vibrancy of the main colors. No brand or manufacturer's mention is visible on the front.

This pin is presented on a gold-patterned textile cushion, but only the front of the pin is visible in the photo; therefore, it is not possible to describe its attachment system or the finish of its back.

The golden outlines, colorful enamel, and graphics emphasize the retro style characteristic of late 20th-century advertising objects, making it an ideal accessory for lovers of oenological souvenirs or to adorn a jacket, bag, or pencil case.

Condition

Used item, sold as is. The visible enamel appears in good general condition, with no chips or apparent cracks on the front. Slight traces of wear or micro-scratches may be present, typical of an old pin.

Did you know? Côtes de Provence is one of the main wine appellations in southeastern France, known for its renowned rosé wines, but also for its reds and whites. Advertising campaigns in the 1980s-1990s frequently used enameled pins to promote wine regions at trade shows and oenological events.
