A pale amber glass goblet features a cylindrical bowl with slightly flared sides, supported by a short stem and circular base. The translucent surface is heavily textured with dark brown and tan speckles, creating a weathered, pitted appearance like ancient sediment. While the bowl is dense with this earthy patina, the foot remains smoother and more transparent, revealing the glass's faint greenish tint beneath the mottled exterior.
