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,
Absinthe Originals.
Orders will be shipped directly from the manufacturer in France. Click on the shopping
cart to place an order and activate the secure payments system.
These are the last of our older style "Rustic Pontarlier" glasses.

Pontarlier Glasses
Incredible value - unique handblown replicas
of the most famous of all absinthe glasses,
the so called "Pontarlier" glass, so named
because of it's appearance in Charles Maire's
famous painting:

painting.
These are not cheap moulded copies - each
glass is hand-blown and hand-cut by artisans
working in an age-old tradition, to mimic the
design and feel of the antique originals as
closely as possible. Their large reservoirs are
perfectly calibrated for a generous 30ml dose.
