Goblet

Hermann Schwinger

Cleveland Museum of Art

Clear goblet with an etched scene around the bowl, depicting a landscape with buildings, trees, and people. The goblet has a wide bowl that narrows where it meets the stem. The stem features a series of stacked ridged discs, followed by a bulbous section that tapers into a narrow neck and then flares out into a circular base. The base has a decorative edge. A line of text in a foreign language is etched along the bottom of the bowl. The goblet sits on a dark surface against a gradient background that transitions from light in the center to dark at the edges. The goblet is by Hermann Schwinger.
