During the 19th and early 20th century, match strikes or pyrogènes were a common feature in French bistros. Often they would sit on a bistro table or bar for customers to use in the preparation of absinthe.
A sugar cube on a slotted spoon would be lowered into absinthe. Once dampened by the alcohol mixture the sugar would be set alight using a match from the match strike or pyrogène. The sugar would melt into the liquid through the slotted spoon. Water would then be stirred into the sweetened liquor for consumption
Approximate Measurements:
Tall - 4.75" diameter x 4.25" tall
Large - 3.5" diameter x 2.25" tall
Small - 2.5" diameter x 2" tall
You can have your choice of one of your own pyrogene!
