Product description
Original, rare, and charming large bottle, a liqueur/alcohol bottle in the shape of the Eiffel Tower. Made in Japan, vintage "Le Fiacre" brand (original label under the base), dating from the 1950s-1970s. This uncommon piece features a gilt metal frame (original paint) depicting the Parisian Tower, containing a removable glass bottle with a metal and cork pourer. The metal base houses a mechanical music box playing "Swan Lake" by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, also indicated under the base. The mechanism is equipped with an automatic stopper that pauses the music when the bottle is placed on a stand. The glass bottle is colorless and molded with raised diamonds. A decorative and collectible item that is both unusual and functional, now rare to find in complete condition with its working mechanism.
Height 42cm, base approximately 13x13cm. Very good overall condition for its age. Bottle in good condition, music box and stopper functional. The mechanism has been cleaned and oiled, but the playback may be slightly slow. A small screw is missing from the base. The cork shows slight wear. There is wear consistent with age to the gilding, with the underlying metal showing through and some traces of oxidation; the patina is consistent with its age. Finally, note that the glass is painted gold in places; this is original. Weight approximately 1 kg.
