Goblet

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows three clear, glass goblets by an unknown artist titled, "Goblet". The goblets have a wide mouth and taper down to a decorative middle section. The middle section features a pattern of etched, curved lines and shapes. The stems are long and thin, connecting to a circular base. The goblets are arranged side by side on a surface that fades from light gray at the bottom to black at the top. The background is a gradient of black to gray. The goblets appear to be made of clear glass and have a similar design. They are empty and have no contents. The overall appearance suggests they are ornamental or used for a special occasion. The image is in black and white. The goblets are positioned upright.
