Carafe "St. Raphaël Quinquina"

This exceptional advertising carafe for St. Raphaël Quinquina is a beautiful example of French bistro design from the 1950s. With its striking, upward-tapering shape and characteristic red and black decor, it embodies the clear graphic design language of the post-war era and evokes the vibrant café and aperitif culture of France.

The St. Raphaël brand, known for its flavored wine-based Quinquina aperitifs, relied on stylish advertising objects for cafés, bars, and brasseries for decades. This carafe was originally used for serving water or accompanying aperitif drinks and was part of the typical furnishings of French bistros.

Made of clear glass, the carafe impresses with its elegant silhouette and striking advertising motif, which has lost none of its graphic impact to this day. It is equally suitable as a collector's item, a decorative object, or a functional carafe for everyday use.

The carafe is in good used condition with age-related signs of wear that underline its authentic vintage character.
