Presentation chalice

Boston & Sandwich Glass Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass chalice with a wide, flared bowl and a long, thin stem. The stem features a series of small, stacked rings in clear, amber, and white hues, with a larger red bead positioned centrally. The base of the chalice is circular and flat. The background is a gradient of gray, transitioning from dark at the top to light at the bottom.
