A previously undocumented 4 robinette
fountain with elaborately etched glass, made
for Henri Lanique, an absinthe distiller based
in Metz.
Particularly interesting is the clearly visible
influence of the then fashionable interest in
the art and crafts of Japan - known as
Japonisme - in the lettering of the word
"Absinthe".
