A clear glass goblet features a smooth, tapering body and a thick, golden-amber foot. The transparent cup remains unadorned, while the base showcases a band of sculpted figures. Dogs leap through scrolling vines in this amber glass ring, wrapping around the bottom of the vessel in a continuous scene. This warm, textured base provides a vivid contrast to the minimalist glass above, which widens toward a delicate, thin rim.
