Metal Absinthe Fountain Lady Style with Four Metal taps - Exact Reproduction of The Most Famous Absinthe Fountain Style

A perfect, fully functional exact reproduction of the most famous absinthe fountain style, with 4 working taps. If you are into Absinthe in a serious way, you need one of these! It is used to drip the water (over sugar usually) into a glass of absinthe from a height to help dissolve the sugar and for a little bar theater. Handmade, mouthblown glass, metallic type plating over brass with four spouts and spigots for up to four glasses of absinthe at one time - showy and eliminates the line at parties. Casting is solid, heavy and decently done. Fit and finish is excellent if not fine, especially considering the price. 8 inches under the spout will accommodate all glasses and still have plenty of fall to dissolve sugar (and look nice). Please note that this absinthe fountain is shipped carefully packaged and will require some easy assembly. This involves simply connecting the base to the bowl and placing the cover on top. Our classic fountains are exact replicas of genuine absinthe fountains from the turn of the 20th century. These absinthe fountains have been meticulously recreated in every detail from vintage originals; they're fashioned completely of brass and heavy gauge mouth-blown glass, and precision built to provide years of trouble-free use. The proper addition of water to absinthe can not be over stressed. You can certainly add water to your absinthe by using a carafe and many people do. But to get the complete flavor from your drink, you really need an absinthe fountain. The high alcohol concentration of absinthe keeps all of the herbs and spices used in its production suspended in solution. You could say that the herbs are "hidden" or "locked away" inside the undiluted elixir. When the water is added, the alcohol concentration begins to fall and the herbal oils start to precipitate out of the solution. This is how all of the flavor and aroma of the absinthe is enjoyed. NOTE: absinthe glasses, spoons, sugar or absinthe bottles are NOT INCLUDED!

• These fountains are hand made using traditional techniques, just as they were during the Belle Epoque. With the traditional brass casting and plating used, this can mean slight grazes or imperfections in the finish. And in the case of traditionally crafted glass, the result is a beautiful antique-looking effect with small air bubbles and lines, as opposed to the flat and featureless finish of modern machine production.
