4-dose absinthe topette (known as "crans"), in chiseled glass and green cap, dating from the 1900s. Generally composed of 2 rims, each of which has the exact capacity of a drop glass, these carafons were left by coffee makers on bistro tables: one dose for coffee and another as a coffee pusher! This version is in very good condition. The green color of the cap (which is certainly not original) was obtained by the addition of copper oxide, iron and dichromate of potash. Note that the interior is whitewashed (see photos). Dimensions: H18 x L6 x D6
