Tumbler

New England Glass Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass tumbler with a wide mouth and a flat rim. The tumbler has a rounded, slightly tapering body with vertical facets. Etched into the lower half are several stylized, pointed leaf-like shapes resembling feathers or wheat, with a repeating pattern. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to white at the bottom, with the tumbler casting a subtle shadow on the surface below.
