This mouth-blown glass fountain is perfect for pouring the water used in a traditional absinthe ritual. By turning the fountain's tap, the amount of water can vary from a slow drip to a gentle stream.

Correct usage consists of: pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing an absinthe spoon on the glass and a sugar cube on the spoon. The fountain lid is removed and fresh water and ice cubes are added to the glass bowl. The tap is turned slightly and the icy water flows slowly from the fountain onto the sugar cube. The cold sugar water then flows from the spoon into the absinthe glass, releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to take on a milky white color, as the water mixes with the anise. Refresh the water before each use.

The fountain can accommodate one person at a time. The proportion of drinks varies from 1 part absinthe to 3 to 5 parts water, depending on individual preference.
