Bakewell, Page & Bakewell

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass tumbler with a wide mouth and a flat rim. The glass has a cylindrical shape with a wide body and a base that is slightly narrower. The glass features a design etched into its surface. The top section has a band of small dots and short lines. Below this is an etched design featuring what appears to be a teapot, a bird, and floral motifs. A band of diamond shapes and a row of vertical lines around the lower portion of the glass are present. The base of the glass has a faceted design. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray and then white at the bottom. The tumbler is by Bakewell, Page & Bakewell.
