Within each diamond, a circular, raised design resembling a flower or rosette. The glass is clear and reflective, with visible light refractions. The background transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom, with the glass casting a shadow to the right. The title is "Tumbler" and the artist is unknown.
