Goblet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image titled "Goblet" by an unknown artist depicts a clear glass goblet with a wide, flared bowl and a stemmed base. The bowl tapers outward from the top and features vertical ridges along its interior surface. A short, narrow stem connects the bowl to the base, which is circular and flat. The base shows an illegible engraving or etching. The goblet appears to be empty and made of transparent glass. The background of the image is light gray with darker spots scattered around, and the overall photograph is in black and white.
