Fountain Lady - 2 taps

This absinthe fountain is beautiful.

Its reservoir – that is entirely made of mouth blown glass – is sustained by a fairy shaped foot.
Its taps are trefoil shaped and its lid is decorated with an acorn, entirely made of brass.

An object that is as useful as it is decorative !

- Make sure you rinse your fountain before you first use it, in order to get rid of any residue.

- You can fill your fountain with ice cubes in order to obtain very cold water.

- Do not empty your fountain straight after having used it, the difference in temperature could damage it; wait until the next day.

- Contrarily to what one might think, absinthe fountains arrived very late. They presumably arrived in 1886, when the maison Cusenier wished to give absinthe a "hygenic" image.

- Historical fountains usualy have 4 taps. Their lids are decorated with a coq gaulois, an acorn or a pine cone. All these symbols were installed in order to stop scaring away ladies.
