Wine Glass

The Metropolitan Museum of Art

The image shows a wine glass by an unknown artist titled "Wine Glass". The glass is clear and has a wide bowl that tapers down to a narrow stem and then flares out into a circular base. The rim of the glass is decorated with an etched design consisting of a wavy line, a straight line, a lattice pattern and a floral pattern. The glass is empty and appears to be made of clear glass with some small bubbles visible within. The background of the image is dark at the top and fades to light at the bottom. The glass casts a shadow on the surface below it.
