FRENCH \"BOUCRY QUINQUINA\" GLASS WATER CARAFE:
$28.99

This mouth-blown carafe was inspired by similar pieces found in bars and bistros throughout Europe
in the 19th and early 20th centuries. Carafes generally sat on bistro tables and were commonly used
by the customer in preparing their own drink, particularly in the making of an absinthe. Besides being
used to hold water, these carafes were also popular promotional and marketing tools used mostly
by alcohol manufacturers.

Using a carafe to add water to an absinthe was the most common method of preparing a traditional
French/Swiss absinthe during the Belle Époque. The correct technique is to slowly, pour or drip the water
onto the sugar cube until has completely dissolved from the spoon, and fallen into the glass of absinthe.
