Versatile Clear Glass Snifter / Pedestal Serving Bowl

The item is a brandy snifter (also known as a snifter glass, brandy balloon, or cognac glass). 

It has a short stem and a wide, rounded bowl that tapers to a narrower opening at the top. This design is specifically intended to trap and concentrate the aromas (or "bouquet") of the liquor inside, enhancing the sensory experience. It is traditionally used to serve aged brown liquors such as brandy, cognac, bourbon, and whisky. The rounded bowl is designed to be cupped in the hand, which gently warms the spirit to help release its aromas.

The item can also be described as a shrimp cocktail glass or a seafood cocktail glass. While its primary design is for aromatic spirits like brandy, the bowl shape and stem make it versatile for serving appetizers such as shrimp or seafood cocktails. The clear glass and stemmed base offer an elegant presentation for the colourful ingredients of a cocktail, such as shrimp and sauce. The size of snifter glasses often suits appetizer-sized portions.

Retailers and sellers sometimes market these exact same glasses under different names, including "dessert glass," "sorbet glass," or "shrimp cocktail glass," to highlight their multi-purpose functionality.

The glass is in perfect condition with no damages noted.
