Wine Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image is a black and white photograph of a wine glass by artist unknown, titled "Wine Glass". The glass is positioned centrally in the image. The bowl of the glass is wide and rounded, and the rim is thin. The bowl is clear and slightly tinted, with many small bubbles visible within it. The stem is long and thin, with a diamond-shaped pattern etched into it. The base of the glass is circular and flat. The glass is sitting on a reflective surface, likely a table or shelf. The background is a plain wall with a gradient of light to dark, transitioning from white at the top to dark gray at the bottom.
