Tumbler

New England Glass Company

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The Tumbler by New England Glass Company features a glass tumbler with a rounded body. The tumbler has a wide mouth and tapers slightly towards the bottom. It exhibits a color gradient effect, transitioning from a deep red at the top to pink, then white, and finally yellow at the bottom. The glass appears transparent, with a slight curvature visible near the base. A shadow is cast to the right of the tumbler. The background is white with a gradient effect at the top transitioning from dark to light gray.
