A clear glass goblet features a bell-shaped bowl decorated with an intricate frosted band of engraved floral vines. The slender stem rises from a wide, circular base, encasing a delicate double helix of white opaque strands winding through the clear glass. To the left, a sharp shadow stretches across the gray surface, thrown by light that illuminates the vessel against a deep, shadowed background.
