Many times the Reservoir glass is what people imagine when they think of an absinthe glass. These glasses have a pronounced bowl made into the bottom of the glass where the absinthe is poured and measured. The dose mark for these glasses is very specific and easily seen. Most Reservoir glasses are panel cut which helps accent the absinthe's appearance during the louching process. These were among some of the earliest glasses made specifically for absinthe.

Large (wide) mouth. Thick glass base. Very little signs of wear.
