Water Goblet

Christian Dorflinger

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a clear glass goblet with an etched design. The goblet's bowl is wide and tapers downward, with a horizontal line around the top edge. Below the line, an etched design features a bow at the top and a circular element below. The lower portion of the bowl has horizontal ridges. The stem is thin, with a decorative oval-shaped section in the middle, connecting to the base. The base is round and flat with a decorative edge. The goblet sits on a light gray background that gradually darkens towards the top.
