Suze Advertising Glass Carafe - France, 1950s-1960s

This original Suze advertising carafe dates from the heyday of French bistro culture in the 1950s and 1960s. With its sleek, faceted shape and striking yellow and black Suze lettering, it is a characteristic example of post-war functional advertising design.

Suze is one of the most famous French aperitifs and has been produced since 1889. The gentian root-based bitter liqueur quickly became a classic in French cafés and bars. To keep the brand present in everyday life, the manufacturers equipped restaurants with matching glasses, carafes, and other promotional items.

This carafe was used as a carafe à eau and traditionally stood on the tables of French bistros. Guests could use it to refill water to dilute the strong gentian aperitif as they pleased. Today, it is a coveted collector's item and also a stylish carafe for water, juice, or as a decorative vase.
