Antique French Pernod Bistro Carafe

With over 200 years of history, Pernod is the oldest French brand of anise spirits. Founded in the early 1800s in Switzerland by Henri-Louis Pernod, the company became famous for its legendary spirits containing extracts of absinthe.

Both of Henri-Louis' sons, Edouard and Louis, followed in their father's footsteps creating their own brands of absinthe: Edouard Pernod and Pernod Fils (Pernod Sons).  Eventually the brothers merged their companies under the Pernod Fils name and, following the French ban on absinthe in 1915, created a reformulated version with a fresh original flavor based on star anise, but without the hallucinogenic wormwood.

Found at market outside of Paris, we are so pleased to present this unique Antique Pernod Carafe produced exclusively for use in cafés & bistros. Made of thick, clear glass, the carafe is embossed with an overall dappled texture and the Pernod name within a shield at center. This antique find perfectly captures the certain je ne sais quoi charms of timeless French bistro style.
