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.
