French Ricard Pastis Carafe Vintage Water Pitcher Glass Aperitif 1309226

French Ricard Pastis Carafe

This authentic French Ricard pastis carafe represents the traditional aperitif culture of Provence and southern France. Originally used in cafes and bistros throughout France, this commercial-grade water pitcher served the essential function of diluting anise-flavored pastis to create the characteristic cloudy drink that defines French bistro culture.

Crafted from clear glass, the carafe displays the classic bulbous silhouette typical of pastis service ware. The distinctive embossed sunflower motif appears in relief on the main body, accompanied by the iconic Ricard branding. The neck features a tapered design leading to a flared rim, demonstrating traditional French glassmaking techniques. The substantial weight and optical clarity indicate commercial-grade construction suitable for professional use.

Standing 18cm tall (7.5 inches), this vintage carafe maintains good condition with clear glass throughout and crisp detailing. The embossed "Modele Depose" marking confirms its authentic French manufacture. The Ricard label on the neck displays the characteristic sun logo, while the main body features detailed raised sunflower decoration that catches and refracts light.

This carafe serves as both a functional piece for traditional pastis service and a decorative accent representing French cafe culture. The authentic Ricard branding makes it particularly sought after by collectors of French advertising memorabilia and vintage barware.
