Tumbler

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

Clear glass tumbler with a wide mouth and a flat bottom. The glass has a thick base and a faceted design, with 16 visible facets around the body. The facets are cut in a geometric pattern. The glass is short and wide, with a straight side that curves slightly inward at the top. The background is a gradient from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom. The tumbler, by artist René Lalique, is centered in the image.
