TOULOUSE LAUTREC ABSINTHE SPOON, GOLD-PLATED & 10 SUGAR CUBES + For Sale

GOLD-PLATED TOULOUSE LAUTREC ABSINTHE SPOON & 10 SUGAR CUBES + FREE SHIPPING !!!One of our most popular absinthe spoons, this piece was originally designed for French painter Toulouse Lautrec. It features the insignia of Lautrec\'s famous initials at the top of the grill. Lautrec loved absinthe so much that he had a special compartment built inside his \"walking stick\"\' to hold a vial of absinthe. The original is among one of the rarest of all antique absinthe spoons. This a reproduction of that late 19th century absinthe spoon. This spoon is used in the preparation of a traditional French/Swiss absinthe. A traditional absinthe is prepared by pouring an ounce of absinthe into an absinthe glass, then placing the absinthe spoon on top of the glass and a sugar cube atop the spoon. Ice water is slowly dripped from a fountain, carafe or balancier onto the piece of sugar. The cold sugar water then drips from the spoon into the glass of absinthe releasing oils and perfuming the air with fennel, grand wormwood and anise. The combination also begins to turn milky white in color, as the water mixes with the anise.
