Antique twisted absinthe glass
Antique twisted absinthe glass
The glass thickens in the lower part, where the absinthe dose was.
Presence of bubbles in the glass. Scratches from use. 3 of the original 6 glasses are blown glass, there is still the trace of the pontil underneath, the other 3 I am not sure.
The twists on the glass are used to measure out the absinthe liquor and then pour the water over the sugar on the absinthe spoon on the glass to soften the bitterness of the drink.
Quite a ceremony!
