The delicate etching, likely featuring drapery in a classical pattern, adds a layer of artistry to the otherwise simple and graceful form. The elongated bowl tapers outward, while the slender stem provides an easy, elegant grip.

Cordial glasses like this were used for after-dinner drinks, their petite size suited to rich and aromatic spirits.
