Denne usædvanlige, mundblæste karaffel var inspireret af lignende stykker fundet i barer og bistroer i hele Europa i slutningen af det 19. århundrede. Når der først er tilsat vand til karaflen, virker vandet til at forstørre og forstørre teksten på kuplen. Den kuplede fordybning i bunden af karaflen omtales som løkken eller luppen, hvilket betyder forstørrelsesglas på fransk. Denne forstørrelse var en nyttig måde at fange ens opmærksomhed som et populært marketingværktøj.
Vandkarafler sad generelt på bistroborde og var den mest almindelige metode til at tilberede en traditionel fransk/schweizisk absint under Belle Époque. Den korrekte teknik til at bruge karaflen til at lave en absint er langsomt at hælde, eller dryppe, vandet på sukkerstykkerne, indtil sukkeret er helt opløst fra skeen og faldet ned i glasset med absint som sukkervand. Da absint er lavet efter ens egen smag, bestemmes mængden af tilsat vand (og sukker) af tilberederen.
I dag er disse meget populære som bordvandskarafler.
