Belle Epoque Metal Absinthe Fountain – 2 Spouts

Get the feel of sitting in a French bistro in the late 19th century, during La Belle Epoque, with this beautiful handcrafted metal absinthe fountain. The design is a reproduction of the fountains used during this time period.

The absinthe fountain is an integral part of the ritualistic absinthe louche experience. It allows the user to control the flow of the water as it drips over the sugar cube and in to the glass below. The metal absinthe fountain also takes some of the mess and guesswork out off trying to pour water from a carafe or glass over the sugar and spoon.
The bowl of the fountain is made from mouth-blown glass and holds 6 ½ cups of liquid (1.5 liters). The base, faucets and lid are made from chrome-plated brass.The lid also features the classic acorn top.

Impress your friends, guests or bar patrons when you perform the absinthe louche ritual like a pro, especially after you read our 4-step guide on .
