This carafe is a reproduction of the handmade, mouth-blown carafes that were commonly found in European bars and bistros during the 19th and early 20th centuries. These carafes were used by customers to prepare their own drinks, particularly absinthe, by adding water to it. They were also used as promotional tools by alcohol manufacturers.
During the Belle Époque, the carafe was often used to add water to absinthe. The correct method involved slowly dripping water onto a sugar cube until it dissolved and fell into the glass of absinthe.
