Ice can be added to the water in the reservoir, creating the perfect chilled temperature for absinthe.
Rather than emptying the fountain straight after using it, it is recommended to leave it overnight, avoiding any small risk, however rare, of thermal shock to the glass parts.
Contrary to what one might assume, absinthe fountains actually arrived very late in its history, carafes having been used before. It is thought that they were introduced by the absinthe-makers Cusenier in 1886, trying to give absinthe a healthy image. Water at the time was not the best quality, and so the fountains also contained a filter to remove impurities.

Added on the : 03/07/2017 EnglishVery pretty fountain. The baby blue color of the base and the fairy top add a good deal of visual interest to the entire ensemble. It is also quite light, which is very good for cleaning purposes (easy to manage and fairly well balanced for manipulation) but perhaps makes it a bit harder to use the spigots (must use two hands - one to twist and another to hold the spigot to keep it from moving.) The chrome covered plastic spigots look fine, but have a slightly cheap feel during operation. They seem quite functional so far, but I wish they felt a bit more substantial.
