A sterling silver spoon in an outstandingly detailed shape of a wormwood twig. Read the whole description

Added on the : 05/05/2015Certainly not a classic antique design but unquestionably a work of art. I can't begin to fathom the amount of meticulous work is involved in crafting this lovely piece. It evokes a wormwood plant perfectly, with astonishing detail. Even though I am a traditionalist I love to use this spoon occasionally just because it is so beautiful and feels so good in the hand. It also fits a variety of glasses, with both a typical 'hump' to fit over the rim as well as a curved tip to fit over the opposite rim.
Truly lovely and perhaps the only completely modern absinthe spoon I would even consider owning. Well worth the price. This level of craftsmanship is far too rare today.

Added on the : 05/05/2014I bought this spoon after buying the Frenay feuille spoon.
The Frenay was elegant, where this one was bulkier and more distinctly crimped, elongated and organic (like art nouveau is organic). The spoon is strongly themed which adds theatre to the Absinthe ceremony.
It is very able in venting sugar water in use, and sits comfortably and reasonable straight on the glass.
It is a fascinating piece. Not elegant, but fascinating.
And then, when you place the 2 spoons alongside, Wow, this difference in spoons. This contrast.
That one silver spoon could contrast another so strongly is surprising.
Now you are offering your Absinthe partner a choice!
