This reproduction glass is one of the most interesting of all antique absinthe glasses. Although it resembles a French Champagne glass, this glass was made specifically for use with absinthe.

This glass is made to the same measurements as an original coupe glass, including its reservoir. The reservoir is the lower part of the glass used to measure the amount of absinthe to be added. In addition to helping the bartender know the exact amount of absinthe to pour, the reservoir lets the customer know that it's an honest pour. The size of the reservoir generally correlates with the size of the glass used, as the water/absinthe ratio varies according to the drinker (generally 3 to 5 parts water to 1 part absinthe). The reservoir of this "glass" measures 25 ml, which is the norm for an absinthe glass of this size.

It's machine-molded, so it's thick and strong - ideal for intensive use in a bar or restaurant.

• Machine-moulded glass.
• Measures 8.6 cm in diameter and 14.6 cm in height.
