The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Parfait Glass by Nightingale consists of clear glass with a wide flared rim. The glass is wider at the top and tapers down, with an indentation in the middle. Six rounded vertical indentations are spaced evenly around the lower part of the glass. The stem is faceted and connects to a round base.
