This popular hand-blown glass is an exact replica of the legendary Pontarlier absinthe glass, but without the facets. The name of the glass first appeared in a late 19th-century advertisement for absinthe producer Pernod Fils, featuring its local newspaper in Pontarlier, France (see photo above). The sleepy little town of Pontarlier was once the world's largest absinthe manufacturer and home to what were considered the world's finest absinthe makers. Pernod Fils, considered the best of the best, was the first to start production here.

The glass is made in the same proportions as an original piece, including the reservoir. The reservoir is where the absinthe is poured and measured. Absinthe glass reservoirs tend to vary greatly according to the size of the glass. As absinthe is made to taste, the ratio of absinthe to water generally varies from 1 part absinthe to 3 - 5 parts water.
