Know before you buy
The fountain features six individual nickel-plated brass spouts, allowing you to prepare up to six glasses of absinthe simultaneously.
There is approximately 8.75 inches of clearance under the spouts, which accommodates most standard absinthe glasses.
To maintain the finish, simply wipe the metal components with a soft, damp cloth after use. Avoid using abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that could scratch the nickel plating.
The bowl is made of mouth-blown glass, so it should be handled with care. It can be cleaned with mild soap and warm water; ensure it is completely dry before storing it to prevent water spots.
The glass bowl has a capacity of approximately 9 cups, or 2.1 liters, which is sufficient for multiple rounds of service.
The fountain requires only simple assembly. All necessary parts are included, and the process is straightforward for anyone to complete quickly.
