Stuff from La Maison D'Absinthe isn't too terribly expensive. Spoons and glasses in the $9-12 range. Most of their fountains are pricey, ornate models, but they have a simple glass one with two silver plastic spouts for $48.

I already have a Tour Eiffel (Eiffel Tower) spoon with the Absente logo which came with my bottle. I want to be able to serve absinthe with a flourish at parties, so I plan to buy that $48 fountain, a second Tour Eiffel spoon ($11), and two Reservoir type glasses ($11 each) unless I find some suitable glasses at a thrift store. Armed with these supplies, loaf sugar cubes, my bottles of Absente and Kubler, and a lot of historical information with which to charm onlookers... Some people like to come and show off their mixology skills? I hope I can pull off the Absinthe Professor guise.

Finding real absinthe antiques in US antique shops is probably going to be quite difficult, but that won't stop me from trying and shouldn't stop anyone else. If you see any dealers in antique malls who seem to specialize in silverware, you might contact them.
