In spite of all that, I still have an interest in the whole elaborate ritual associated with the drink. I like the spoons and carafes and fountains, and if I was to say, come across a few slotted absinthe spoons in some Parisian flea market, I'd probably bring them home with me and find a place to display them.

Below are some spiffy fountains by Andy Paiko, who does some really spectacular glasswork. They've been featured a few times in the Douglas Little for Better Homes and Gardens spreads, which you can find at DL's website's press section. I have a serious thing for those bell jars. If only I had a mansion to display them in, and some fussy little thing to display in them. There's a picture of Paiko on his website, and he's pretty cute. Not that I've got a crush on him or anything.
