Tumbler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Black and white photograph of Tumbler by Louis Comfort Tiffany. Glass tumbler with wide mouth and slightly flared rim. The body of the tumbler features vertical ribbing from the middle to the bottom. The lower third of the tumbler has a clear, bubbly, swirl-patterned base. The upper portion of the tumbler displays a subtle woven or net-like pattern below the rim and what appears to be tassels hanging from it. The tumbler is set against a light-colored background and reflected on a surface.
