Alcoholic beverage glass
The glass is complete; there are small chips around the foot. It is in three parts: the cup, the stem and the foot. The cup is bucket-shaped, with a wall that flares out at the top, and a rim in its extension at the plain top; the bottom is flat and thick. The stem is cylindrical and straight. The foot is circular. It has a conical profile and flared edges. The center of the underside of the foot shows a trace left by the glass pontil, a tool used by the glassmaker to make glass. The lower half of the bowl is translucent rather than transparent; the stem is adorned with a central twisted air bubble and a group of stretched, twisted air bubbles around the periphery (Air twist).
