This very attractive spoon is one of our most popular and decorated absinthe spoons. It features a pair of unique notches in the handle to hold the spoon firmly on the glass and reduce movement. Like our Ouvragées absinthe spoon, this piece is reminiscent of a stained glass window and is an exact reproduction of a late 19th century absinthe spoon.

This spoon is used in the preparation of a traditional French or Swiss absinthe. A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing the absinthe spoon on the glass and a sugar cube on the spoon. Iced water flows slowly from a fountain, carafe or balance on 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.
