Crafted in lead crystal, it features a rich topaz bowl with a clear faceted stem and radial-cut foot. The bowl is finely wheel engraved with a traditional grapevine and leaf motif, and the goblet retains its original "Hand Made in Latvia" factory label, confirming its manufacture by the Livānu Glass Factory.

The elegant engraving reflects the long European tradition of decorative crystal cutting, while the warm topaz colouring provides a striking contrast to the clear faceted stem. Although visually reminiscent of classic grapevine patterns found on other European crystal, this is a distinctive Livānu Stikls design with its own proportions and decorative treatment. The hand-blown construction, hand-finished engraving, and polished detailing exemplify the quality associated with the renowned Latvian glassworks.

Original labelled examples have become increasingly desirable following the closure of the Livānu Glass Factory in 2009. Equally suited for use, display, or addition to a collection of Baltic and Eastern European crystal, this goblet represents a fine example of late twentieth-century European craftsmanship.
