Tumbler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass tumbler with a wide mouth and a cylindrical body. The body features a repeating pattern of raised diamond shapes, each containing a raised circular shape. The diamonds are arranged in a crisscross pattern. The glass appears to be made of clear crystal or lead crystal, giving it a sparkling appearance. The background is a gradient of dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The glass is centered in the image and casts a slight shadow on the surface below. The image is titled "Tumbler" and is by an unnamed artist.
