Absinthe usually came served in just a normal bar glass but after a while there were custom absinthe glasses created. There became various absinthe glasses which were specific just to drink absinthe after the drink started getting popular. Most of them would be configured with a stem that is thick but not too tall. There would also be faceting so that the visual and presence of the glass is more intriguing. There would also be a dosage line which would be specified through being etched onto the glass or with a type of band. The dosage line will notify people of how far the absinthe should be filled in the glass.
Reservoir Glass
Reservoir glass is a term which is used for a few different kinds of glasses. There were various types of reservoir glasses that were used for absinthe. They all commonly had a little bulge in the lower portion of the glass and it would have a dosage line displayed as well. Reservoir glasses were the first of many kinds of glasses which were made just for drinking absinthe. There was also the bubble reservoir glass (however it was less popular) and it was unique for the bubble shape reservoir which it possesses.
Some of these absinthe glasses now fetch a lot of money because they are vintage items. Regular absinthe drinkers will probably get glasses which are specifically made to drink absinthe from. |
