Jelly Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a clear glass titled "Jelly Glass" by an unknown artist. The glass is tall and slender with a flared mouth that tapers down to a narrower middle section before widening again into a circular base. The glass features vertical ridges that run along the length of the body, and it appears to be made of transparent glass that reflects light. The base of the glass is circular and flat, with a short stem connecting it to the rest of the glass. The background of the image is a plain gray wall and surface, which helps to highlight the details of the glass.
