    7 Vintage Absinthe Green Tint Glasses Pontarlier Reservoir Hourglass Interior. They also have star engravings on them. I wish I knew more about these glasses. I have searched and searched and have not been able to find anything like these. The closest I came was finding an absinthe decanter with the same green tint glass and hourglass interior that was dated circa 1900. I have no idea how old these glasses are. The design, that is so similar to that decanter, makes me think it could be very old, but the star engravings seem very indicative of mid century modern atomic star design, they are approximately 6 inches tall. Each glass is slightly different so it looks as if they were hand crafted. If you look very closely at the photos you can see the reservoirs are slightly different in size, the height of the glass is slightly different, the size of the interior hourglass also differs among each glass, As does the overall thickness of the glass.The clear spaces between the outer tubes and the inner tube appear to be open but they are solid glass. Five of the glasses are in excellent condition with no issues, but two of them have tiny flea bites. I tried to photograph the flea bites but they were difficult to capture. I would normally not include anything that had a flea bite but these are so unique and rare that I felt they should be included. I have an 8th glass as well but that one has a bigger chip in the rim so I did not include it. I would certainly welcome any additional information anyone might have on these glasses. They will make quite an interesting and rare addition to an absinthe collection! Don’t hesitate to ask any questions. Thanks for looking!
