TRADITIONNEL PONTARLIER UNCUT ABSINTHE GLASS

Description

Traditionnel Pontarlier Uncut Absinthe Glass
Perhaps the most popular antique absinthe glass on the market today is the legendary Pontarlier glass. While there were many variations from the pre-ban era (before 1915 when absinthe was banned in France), this style is considered the quintessential traditional Pontarlier absinthe glass.
This glass was made famous, and originally named, after it appeared in an advertisement for the #1 absinthe producer of the time - Pernod Fils. The advertising print showed Pernod Fils' hometown newspaper from Pontarlier, France, laid across a table next to a bottle of Pernod and two glasses (see above photo). Through a nationwide marketing campaign, this print was sent to bars all over France, adding to the recognition of the Pontarlier glass. The Pontarlier glass became synonymous with absinthe.
This glass is made to the same measurements as an original Pontarlier absinthe glass, including the reservoir. The reservoir (located at the bottom of the glass) is used to measure the amount of absinthe to be added for that sized glass. This measured dose aided the bartender in knowing the exact amount of absinthe to pour. the reservoir also helps the customer know it is an honest pour. The size of the reservoir generally correlates with the size of the glass being used, as water to absinthe ratios vary by the drinker (typically 3 to 5 parts water, to 1 part absinthe). The reservoir measures 25 ml (.8 oz), which is standard for an absinthe glass of this size.
