Description from the seller

Enjoy the photographs to understand the beauty of these siphons; They feature blue taps or heads bearing the marks Carbónicas Espumosos Gusten Vich Barcelona, the most sought after—a beauty with many years of age, in good condition for collectors and decoration. Seltzer water. They may have slight scratches or small glass flaws. They are hand-engraved.
CHARTREUSE: it is a French herbal liqueur, produced by macerating certain herbs in a high-proof spirit. The liqueur is named after the Carthusian monastery of Grande Chartreuse, “the Great Chartreuse,” taking its name from the Chartreuse massif, “the Chartreuse massif,” in the Alps, the region of France where the monastery is located.
History
In 1605, the Duke of Estrées handed the Carthusian monks of Paris a strange manuscript with a formula called the “Élixir de Longue Vie” (Elixir of long life). After several unsuccessful attempts, the monastery’s herbalists considered the recipe too complex and abandoned it. But the recipe was rescued and a century and a half later the pharmacy of the Grand Chartreuse, in Saint-Pierre-de-Chartreuse, began to produce the so-called “Élixir végétal” (Vegetal Elixir) and to market it in 1764. Distribution was limited to nearby Grenoble and Chambéry, but its popularity grew. From the vegetal elixir, the Carthusians developed a digestif they called “Liqueur de santé” (Health Liqueur).
The French Revolution dispersed the monastic order in 1793 and the monks stopped distilling their liqueur. In 1816, they returned to the Grande Chartreuse monastery and resumed their activity. From 1840 they produced the so-called Chartreuse jaune (yellow Chartreuse), milder than its predecessor, Chartreuse verte (green Chartreuse). In 1860 they built the monastery’s distillery.
In 1903 the Carthusians were expelled from France. They took their secret and established a distillery in Tarragona (Spain), which became the center for producing the liqueur, called “Tarragona.” It was also produced in Marseille from 1921 to 1929, under the same name, “Tarragona.”

Welcome to ENJOY THE ART & ANTIQUES, a space dedicated to the search, selection, and presentation of works of art, antiques, and collectible objects with character, history, and authenticity.
Our passion arises from the belief that every piece tells a unique story. We do not simply sell objects; we offer fragments of culture, design, craftsmanship, and memory that deserve to be preserved and appreciated by new generations.
Inspired by the spirit of the great international art and collecting platforms, where thousands of buyers seek special and hard-to-find pieces, we carefully select each item to ensure it possesses aesthetic value, historical interest, or collectible singularity.
Our philosophy
