| Absinthe Carafes, Pichets & Topettes |
Carafes and water jugs were a very common café accessory. They often bore the name of the drinks manufacturer -
those with specific publicity for absinthe are highly sought after.
Water pitchers (pichet in French) were often made in fanciful zoomorphic shapes - those specifically intended for use
with absinthe can be identified by their very small spout, often only a few millimeters across. These are collected not
just by absinthe specialists, but also by French majolica (barbotine) collectors.
Topettes were used to measure out the absinthe. They came in various sizes with the dose, or number of shots of
absinthe, being indicated by the number of rings.
All prices INCLUDE worldwide airmail shipping.

A superb dual-mouthed absinthe carafe. These were made specifically for use with absinthe - the
wide mouth allowed the carafe to be filled with water, which could then be poured out in a thin
stream through the tiny secondary opening, ideal for the careful preparation of a fine absinthe.
This is a classic and highly desirable piece of absinthiana.

example of an "individual carafe", designed to hold just enough water for one glass. It is the only
example from the producer recorded.
A little gem, for the connoisseur.
