A clear glass goblet features a tall, conical bowl etched with elaborate scrolling foliage, flowers, and beaded lines. The slender stem is punctuated by three decorative elements: two small spheres flanking a larger, ridged disc. The vessel rests on a circular base adorned with matching floral motifs. The transparent glass creates a delicate play of light across the meticulously detailed engravings that wrap the entire exterior in a frosted texture.
