The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The goblet has a wide bowl with a rounded body that tapers inward slightly. The bowl's exterior transitions from a dark brown at the base to a lighter brown towards the top. The interior of the bowl is a lighter brown color with a shiny finish. The stem is narrow and flares out at the bottom into a circular base. The goblet sits on a gray surface with a gradient background that darkens towards the top. The background is plain with no additional objects or features. The title of the piece is "Goblet" by the artist.
