Vintage Suntory Midori Melon Liqueur Miniature Bottle

This item is a vintage miniature bottle of Midori Melon Liqueur, produced by the renowned Japanese distiller Suntory. The bottle features a distinctively textured green glass, designed to mimic the rind and appearance of a muskmelon. It stands approximately 4 to 5 inches tall, containing a vibrant, neon-green liquid that is synonymous with the brand's identity. The front label is black with gold and white lettering, clearly displaying the brand 'Suntory' and 'Midori melon liqueur'. A notable feature is the paper tax stamp strip that remains partially intact over the green screw-top cap, indicating its age and domestic import status within the United States market. The label also specifies 'Imported and Bottled by Suntory Limited,' a detail that links it to specific eras of Japanese liquor exports, likely dating from the 1980s. The condition of the bottle appears excellent, with the liquid levels appearing full and no visible evaporation. The exterior glass is free of chips, and the label remains crisp with minimal peeling. This miniature represents a classic piece of barware history, reflecting the peak of fruity liqueur popularity in the late 20th century and the craftsmanship of Suntory's international marketing design.
