History
This bottle represents Saint-Vivant Armagnac, a French brandy from the Gascony region. The Exposition Universelle medallion on the bottle commemorates the 1937 Paris World's Fair, where many French spirits producers showcased their products. Such bottles were often produced as commemorative editions to celebrate awards or participation in international exhibitions. Vintage Armagnac bottles are highly sought after by spirits collectors, French memorabilia enthusiasts, and those interested in Art Deco-era packaging design. The green glass bottle with its distinctive medallion and period labeling represents both the craftsmanship of French distilling and the historical significance of the 1937 Exposition. These bottles appeal to collectors who value the intersection of spirits history, World's Fair memorabilia, and decorative glassware from the interwar period.
