FRENCH ABSINTHE LOOP GLASS WATER CARAFE with BLUE & RED TEXT

Description

“BONNECAZE” Absinthe Loop Carafe, with Blue & Red Text
This unusual mouth blown carafe was inspired by similar pieces found in
bars and bistros throughout Europe in the late 19th century. Once water
is added to the carafe, the water acts to magnify and enlarges the text
on the dome. The domed indention in the bottom of the carafe is referred
to as the loop, or loupe, which means magnifying glass in French. This
magnification was a useful way to grab one’s attention as a popular
marketing tool.
Water carafes generally sat on bistro tables
and were the most common method of preparing a traditional French/Swiss
absinthe during the Belle Époque. The correct technique in using the
carafe to make an absinthe is to slowly pour, or drip, the water onto
the sugar cubes until the sugar has completely dissolved from the spoon
and fallen into the glass of absinthe as sugar water. Since absinthe is
made to one’’s own taste, the amount of water (and sugar) added is
decided by the preparer’.
