A clear glass flute features a conical bowl with a flared rim, tapering into a slender stem and matching circular base. Dense floral motifs are scratched into the bowl and base. The stem is punctuated by three decorative bulbs: a smooth upper sphere, a middle sphere with vertical ridges, and a lower sphere ringed with tiny beads. Bright highlights shimmer on the transparent surfaces, emphasizing the vessel's polished silhouette and delicate engravings.
