Catalog notes:
The Sunflower trademark was introduced by the Guizhou Moutai Distillery for a relatively brief period, from the late 1960s to the mid-1970s, either replacing or appearing alongside the Feitian (Flying Fairy) trademark. It was used primarily for export production. Owing to its limited period of use, examples bearing the small-leaf Sunflower trademark are particularly scarce, while complete, intact original cases are exceptionally rare.

历史与收藏价值
• “葵花牌”由来：在20世纪60年代末至70年代中期，贵州茅台酒厂曾短暂推出“葵花牌”商标来取代或并行于“飞天牌”，主要用于出口销售。该商标使用时间较短，因此小叶葵花存世量稀缺，整箱原箱完整存世十分难得。
• 拍卖记录：
1.2021年6月，英国伦敦苏富比（Sotheby's）拍卖了一箱24瓶装的1974年“葵花牌”茅台，最终以约100万英镑的高价成交，创下了当时中国境外单批茅台酒的最高拍卖纪录。
2. Sotheby’s London 2022，拍卖了一箱24瓶装的1972年“葵花牌”茅台 成交价：937,500英镑。
