Tumbler by New England Glass Company. The glass tumbler has a cylindrical shape with a slightly flared mouth and a rounded base. The top third of the tumbler is a deep pink color, gradually transitioning to a light yellow or amber color towards the bottom. The glass appears transparent with a slight sheen, indicating it is made of glass. The background of the image is white with a shadow cast by the tumbler to the right. The tumbler sits upright on a flat surface.
