Tumbler

New England Glass Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass tumbler with a wide mouth and a flat rim. The body of the tumbler features a repeating pattern of raised, diamond-shaped designs that are arranged in a grid-like formation. The diamonds have a raised, bumpy texture within them. The glass sits on a flat surface and casts a faint shadow on a light gray background. The overall shape of the tumbler is cylindrical, with slightly more narrow top and bottom than the middle. The tumbler appears to be made of clear, transparent glass.
