Design & Anatomy

The Bowl: It features a broad, U-shaped bowl with a slightly tapered rim. This shape is intentional; it provides enough surface area for the wine to "breathe" (oxidize) while concentrating the aromas toward the nose.

The Stem: It has a long, slender, pulled stem. This allows the drinker to hold the glass without touching the bowl, preventing body heat from warming the wine.

The Base: A flat, circular foot that provides stability.

Material: The glass appears to be clear, standard soda-lime glass rather than fine lead crystal, given the thickness of the rim and the way the light reflects off the surface.

Technical Observations

Clarity: The glass shows some minor "clouding" or water spots near the bottom of the bowl, which is common with dishwasher use or air-drying.

Construction: The seamless transition from the bowl to the stem suggests it may be a "one-piece" or pulled-stem construction, which is generally more durable than glasses where the stem is glued to the bowl.

Style: This is a utilitarian, modern design—common in restaurants and household sets (like those from brands such as Libbey or IKEA).
