Champagne Glass

George Duncan and Sons

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a clear glass champagne flute with a wide, shallow bowl that has a decorative edge. The bowl is transparent and features a pattern of radiating lines on its interior. Below the bowl, the stem is clear at the top and then transitions to an opaque white color. The stem features a decorative design resembling a human head with curly hair, positioned near the middle. The base of the stem is circular and flat. The background is a gradient that transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
