Pontarlier Absinthe Glass with Cuts

$15

The most popular reproduction antique absinthe glass on the market today is the legendary Pontarlier glass. This style is considered the quintessential traditional absinthe glass. The glass was originally named after the it appeared in an advertisement for the number one absinthe producer of its time, Pernod Fils. The print featured the brand's hometown newspaper from Pontarlier, France (see photo). Because the company was so popular, the print was sent all over France, only adding to the brand recognition for Pernod Fils and the Pontarlier glass. 

This Pontarlier absinthe glass is made in the same proportions as the original glasses, including their reservoir. The reservoir is the area used to measure the amount of absinthe to be used. It was intended to aid the bartender in a bar setting by knowing the correct amount of absinthe to pour, and it helped the customer know it was an honest pour. The reservoir size generally correlates with the size of the glass being used. The reservoir measures 25 ml (.8 oz), the standard amount for an absinthe glass of this size. The ratio of water to absinthe depends on the preparer's preference but is typically 1 part absinthe to 3 - 5 parts water.
