Description

Lady Absinthe Fountain with Wings, 2 Spout
Although not a reproduction of a vintage Belle Epoque absinthe fountain, this Lady Fountain with
Wings is perhaps our most popular of all fountains.
The top cover has the classic "acorn" top and
is removable to add ice water into the glass bowl. The glass bowl is mouth blown and the
fountains are hand made, chrome plating over brass. Fountain has two metal faucets,
accommodating one to two glasses at the same time.
Absinthe fountains were mostly used in high-end bars because of their expensive price tag.
They were brought to the table, where the customer would prepare the absinthe himself.
Absinthe fountains were (and still are) the preferred way to prepare absinthe, as one can
perfectly control the rate of water. But unfortunately due to accidents, very few fountains
have survived intact with its original glass bowl.
Proper use consists of: pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing an
absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. The lid of the fountain is
removed and fresh water and ice is added into the glass bowl. The spigot is slightly turned and
the ice water is slowly dripped from the fountain onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water
then drips from the spoon into the glass of absinthe releasing oils and perfuming the air with
fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to turn milky white in color,
as the water mixes with the anise. Refresh water before each use.
Fountain will accommodate 1 to 2 people at one time. Drink ratio varies from 1 part absinthe,
to between 3 to 5 parts water, depending on one's preference. California Prop 65 compliant when
properly used.
