Tumbler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tumbler by unknown artist depicts two clear glasses. The glass on the left side is shorter and wider, with a ribbed base and a textured middle section. The top section has a smooth surface with horizontal lines. The glass on the right side is taller and more narrow with a pedestal base. The body of the glass features a bumpy texture. Both glasses are clear and reflective. The background of the image fades from dark to light gray.
