ABSINTHE ACCESSORIES (Glasses, spoons, fountains, etc.)
We highly recommend La Maison d'Absinthe for absinthe accessories for all our North American members. This is The Frenchman's American partner, René. The Frenchman is the source of almost all of the antique reproductions on the market now, including fountains, spoons and glasses. A percentage of all sales referred from here go to support the Wormwood Society.
• The Frenchman: Antique reproduction glassware, fountains and spoons. Best for European customers.
• Oxygenee.com - Vintage absinthe and collectibles. Absolutely amazing site, if only for the pictures.
• Saxon Gifts - Antique reproduction glassware, fountains and spoons. Also in the US.
• Absinthe Originals - Vintage glassware, spoons and other collectibles. Some repros.
Recommendation Policy
In order for us to deem a vendor worthy of recommendation, they must have demonstrated a history of reliability, integrity, customer service and satisfaction, fairness in pricing and marketing language, and offer a good range of quality products with a minimum of mass-market novelty items such as faux-absinthe products.
We specifically recommend against any vendor who places undue emphasis on thujone content, the mythical hallucinogenic or aphrodisiac properties of absinthe, or sells do-it-yourself absinthe kits.
Part of our mission is to educate the consumer and prevent them from being misled by businesses selling grossly inferior and incorrectly identified products at astronomical prices.
