It consists of a main body with a matte metallic appearance, connected to a spring-loaded ring with a silver finish, itself attached by a short chain. The visible side features a round printed insert, dominated by the inscription \"eau minérale naturelle\" (natural mineral water) and the name \"Plombières\" in red characters on a light background. The mention \"Source Alliot\" appears at the bottom of the circle, accompanied by a central illustration depicting a female profile surrounded by circular texts, in a retro graphic style characteristic of the 1950s-1970s.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe central label plays on color contrasts: red and gray typography on a white background, with pale pink details.
