Know before you buy
Because the glass is hand-blown and delicate, it is not dishwasher safe. We recommend hand-washing the reservoir with warm water and a mild, non-abrasive soap, then drying it thoroughly with a soft cloth to maintain its clarity.
Yes, the fountain is designed for simultaneous service. You can adjust the flow of each spigot individually to accommodate up to six guests at once during your absinthe ritual.
The base features a brushed brass finish that may develop a natural patina over time. To keep it looking polished, simply wipe it down with a soft, dry cloth after use; avoid harsh chemical cleaners that could damage the finish.
The turn-valve spigots are designed to allow for a very fine, slow drip. This precision is essential for the traditional absinthe ritual, as it ensures the water slowly louches the absinthe to release its full aromatic profile.
Yes, because each reservoir is handmade, you may notice slight variations or unique characteristics in the glass. These are not defects, but rather hallmarks of the artisanal process that make each fountain a one-of-a-kind piece.
