Wine Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image depicts a wine glass with a conical bowl. The bowl features a decorative rim with a zigzag design. Etched designs, possibly representing plants with berries or flowers, are visible on the bowl. The stem tapers to a circular base. The glass appears to transition from a darker shade at the bottom to a clearer tone toward the top. The background includes a plain wall behind the glass and a reflective surface beneath it. The image is attributed to the title "Wine Glass" and the artist is unmentioned.
