| Absinthe Fountains |
A fountain is the ultimate absinthe accoutrement - it makes preparing a perfectly mixed
absinthe absolutely straightforward, and even allows you to prepare several glasses at once -
perfect for parties, or just for amazing your friends!
Original fountains are rare and fragile, and very expensive, selling for upwards of $5000. Even
those in good condition are seldom entirely waterproof, and the taps are often clogged with
limestone deposits built up over the decades.
Many replicas are equally unsatisfactory, being unstable, excessively fragile and hopelessly
inauthentic. Our replicas are faithful copies of the originals, are entirely made from metal (no
plastic parts!) and are precision engineered to give years of trouble-free use. Amazingly though,
they are less expensive than several obviously inferior models.
We recommend these fountains without reservation. Every serious absintheur should have one.
If you're on a tight budget, our all glass fountain (see below) is perfect for daily use, and
exceptional value for money.
Orders will be shipped directly from the manufacturer in France. Click on the shopping cart to

A simply gorgeous newly-designed fountain, with a classic art-nouveau feel.

fascinating. Overall height just under 24". Height under taps 12"

Postcards or photos showing "real-life" scenes of absinthe drinking are extremely rare. This 1893 postcard,
showing a group of country folk relaxing over their absinthes at the end of hard day's fishing, is the only known
contemporary photo of an absinthe fountain in use.
