Alcoholic beverage glass

The glass is complete. It is in three parts: the bowl, the stem and the foot. The bowl is conical, with an upwardly flaring wall and a plain rim. The stem is hollow, shaped like an inverted baluster. The foot is circular. It has a conical profile and its rim is folded on the underside. The center of the underside of the foot shows a small trace left by the pontil, a tool used by the glassmaker to make the glass ; The decoration is molded on the stem and cut on the bowl. The lower outer third of the bowl is adorned with oval-shaped vertical sections. The space between them is flat; the upper half is decorated with short, superimposed horizontal grooves, while the lower half is cut as an elongated drop. The stems are hollow and molded in a baluster shape, with oval-shaped tops.
