Absinthe era saucer from a French bar with a burgundy rim. This is an actual saucer from the late 19th or very early 20th century that was used in a bar in the Charente Martime departement in the Southwest of the country. It measures 4 7/8 inches in diameter. There is some wear to the rim decoration from long years of use. The back is glazed. There are a couple of small chips on the inside of the foot but they are really not noticeable when it is on a table or other flat surface. A photo of the ...click for details

French absinthe era bar saucer decorated with a light blue rim enclosed in burgundy hairlines and an attractive raised interior.

A scan of a postcard depicting this establishment will be sent to you on request. This is a guaranteed genuine turn-of-the-century saucer or soucoupe from the Belle Epoque when poets ...click for details

We just got this great octagonal bistrot or absinthe saucer in France. It has a wonderful, bold price of 1.50 francs, a raised star (rare) in the center, and a silvered border which is somewhat worn. There is a small silver circle, also worn, in the center, making this a very elegant and high-end saucer.
The saucer has a Limoges mark as well as the mark of J. Laplaine, Ste Livrade sur Lot, possibly the wholesaler. The saucer is large, just a tad under 5 inches across.
Truly a handsome piec ...click for details

Bin labels were used to identify sections or bins in wine cellars. This is a vintage French enamel on metal bin label, dating from the early 1900’s, for COTES DU RHONE. It was used for decades and shows some chipping to the enamel (which is usual on enamel labels, especially around the holes where nails were used to affix them). There are also other minor imperfections. Be sure to see the photograph. All of this, however, adds to its character as a wine collectible. It can be used in your wine c ...click for details

Antique blown glass topette with three rings from an old French bar.

This is the first time we have had a yellow topette, the special type of decanter used in a French bar to serve measured doses of absinthe. The drinker was charged for the number of doses consumed. This one is molded and probably dates from the later years of the absinthe era or a bit later when it might have been used for other drinks that were diluted with water such as pastis or gentian flavored potions. It is 9 3/4 inches tall.
