- CARE
This carafe was designed after similar pieces found in European bars and bistros from the 19th and early 20th centuries. Customers commonly used a carafe to prepare their drinks, especially for making absinthe. In addition to holding water, carafes were also frequently used as promotional tools by alcohol manufacturers. Using a carafe to add water to absinthe was the preferred method during the Belle Époque, following the correct technique of slowly pouring or dripping water onto a sugar cube until it completely dissolves and mixes with the absinthe.
The carafes can be used to hold a wide variety of liquids.
