The correct style of glass is essential for the proper enjoyment of a fine absinthe, and
we're pleased to be able to offer a range of hand-blown replica glasses with the same
sturdy, heavy feel as the classic bistrot glasses of the Belle Epoque era.
These so called "reservoir" glasses were made specifically for use with absinthe, with
the shape of the reservoir demarcating the correct size of the absinthe dose.
Originals of these glasses sell for several hundred dollars each - these reproductions
are so good, that only a knowledgeable collector can tell them apart.
For a range of original antique glasses, visit our specialist absinthe antiques site,
