The object is a clear glass champagne flute. The flute is tall and slender, with a long, tapered bowl that is slightly flared at the rim. The bowl features eight vertical, concave panels. The stem is thin and cylindrical, with a small, round knop in the center. The base is wide and flat, with a decorative edge featuring radiating lines. The background of the image transitions from dark gray at the top to light gray at the bottom.
