Tumbler

Bakewell, Pears and Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tumbler by Bakewell, Pears and Company. Clear glass tumbler with a wide mouth and a short, thick base. The glass features a repeating pattern of oval shapes created by raised, ribbed lines that run vertically and horizontally around the body. The oval shapes are arranged in rows, with each row having a slightly different orientation. The glass sits on a flat surface, with a shadow cast to the left. The background is a plain gray color. The glass appears to be made of clear, transparent glass with some minor imperfections and marks on the surface. The overall shape of the glass is cylindrical, with a slight tapering towards the top. The rim of the glass is smooth and rounded. The glass has a sturdy and solid appearance.
