Vintage French Anisette Casanis Advertising Glass Carafe Decanter 08112610

French Anisette Casanis Glass Carafe

A French Anisette Casanis glass carafe from the mid-twentieth century, made to serve the brand's anise-flavored spirit at the bistro table or bar counter. Clear pressed glass in the classic square-shouldered carafe form -- known in French as a carafe a eau -- with a gently flared lip and a slim neck that makes it easy to pour, the bottle is printed directly on the glass with the bold Casanis livery: a golden yellow and orange-red label framed in cobalt blue, carrying the cursive "Casanis" signature that the Marseille-born brand made famous across southern France. Casanis, long a fixture of the Provence aperitif hour, produced these advertising carafes for use in cafes and brasseries, where they doubled as water jugs alongside a glass of pastis.

The graphic is clean and highly legible -- exactly the kind of mid-century French advertising object that works equally well displayed on a bar cart, a kitchen shelf or a sideboard. Collectors of French breweriana and bistro ephemera will recognize the period charm immediately, and decorators often pair pieces like this with enamel signs or other vintage Provencal barware for a cohesive French country vignette.

Condition and patina consistent with age. The glass is clear and free of cracks; the printed label shows light surface wear in keeping with decades of use, as visible in the photos.

Approx. 6.9 in tall (17.5 cm).
