Alcoholic beverage glass

The glass is complete. It consists of three parts: the bowl, the stem and the foot. The bowl is cylindrical, with an upwardly flared wall, a flat rim and a conical lower part. A small cylinder tops the stem to join it to the cup. The stem is solid, cylindrical and straight, tapering towards the bottom. The foot is circular. It has a conical profile and its edge is folded under. The center of the underside of the foot shows a small mark left by the pontil, a tool used by the glassmaker to make the glass. The glass is tinted mauve. It has small cracks in the cut; none other than the shape of the stem. The stem is solid and shaped like a small, elongated, inverted baluster. The bottom of the bowl has a small, elongated air bubble that continues into the cylinder that connects it to the bowl.
