Tall wine glass with a burgundy-colored bowl, the exterior of which is covered with speckled gradations of violet that is darkest at the bottom of the bowl, the long stem carries the burgundy glass from the bowl inside it at the top in the form of a small tornado-like shape, the stem then a slightly translucent, but white glass that merges into an applied flower-like form that opens up to envelope the stem, the flower-like element of deep reddish-purple glass and with spiraling purple and white threads, the bottom of the stem is likewise slightly opaque, the round foot of clear glass.
