This fountain is perhaps our most popular. The lid is adorned with the classic "pineapple" finial and can be removed to add iced water to the glass bowl, which includes a water filter. The pineapple represents hospitality and friendship. The glass bowl is mouth-blown and the fountains are handmade.

Absinthe fountains were mostly used in high-end bars due to their high price. They were brought to the table, where the customer prepared the absinthe himself. Absinthe fountains were (and still are) the preferred way to prepare absinthe, as the water content can be perfectly controlled. But unfortunately, due to accidents, very few fountains have survived intact with their original glass bowls.

The correct practice is to pour an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then place an absinthe spoon on the glass and a sugar cube on the spoon. The fountain lid is removed and fresh water and ice are added to the glass bowl. The tap is turned slightly and the ice water flows slowly from the fountain onto the sugar cube. The cold sugar water then flows from the spoon into the glass of absinthe, 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 from 1 to 6 people at a time. The consumption ratio varies from 1 part absinthe to 3 to 5 parts water, depending on individual preference.
