Saltcellar

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows two dark-colored glass goblets. The goblets are made of dark-colored glass and have a wide bowl with a narrow base. The bowls are rounded and have a slight lip at the top. The stems are short and have a decorative ring in the middle. The bases are round and flat. The goblets are identical in shape and size. They are sitting on a light-colored surface, possibly a table or shelf. There are two small white labels on the surface in front of the goblets. One label has some numbers on it and the other says "The Metropolitan Museum of Art". The background is a plain light-colored wall. The image is in black and white. The title of the image is "Saltcellar" by an unknown artist.
