Pair of 19th Century French Absinthe Glasses
- H: 16.3 cm (6 3/8")
- W: 8 cm (3 1/8")
- D: 8 cm (3 1/8")
Pair of French absinthe glasses.
Known as 'the green fairy,' this notorious, green anise-flavoured spirit is very much associated with the hedonism of La Belle Èpoque in Paris.
However absinthe has had a chequered history and was banned in France in 1915- a ban which would last almost 100 years.
Absinthe was served in bars and cafes, but was also consumed by the working and middle classes at home- hence why you will often find full sets of glasses and spoons.
Multiple available.
