DescriptionThis goblet is a recreation of a 17th century dragon stemmed goblet. It features a clear thin symmetrical bowl. The stem begins with a single roundel that rest on the head of an applied dragon form. The dragon has 2 aqua blue wings and aqua blue details near its eyes. The dragon sits on another roundel that connects to the foot of the piece.
