Sillabub Cup

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Sillabub Cup by an unknown artist. The image is a black and white photograph of a glass goblet. The goblet has a wide bowl with a slightly wavy rim and a short stem. The base of the goblet is wide and flat with a small lip around the edge. The goblet appears to be made of dark-colored glass with lighter areas where light reflects off the glass. The background is a plain wall with light shadowing behind the goblet. The goblet sits on a flat surface that appears lighter in color than the wall.
