In the China Cabinet *

Seattle, WA

The backlight comes from the china cabinet's single light bulb, in a direct line behind the martini glass. Light within the martini glass caused a reflection to appear in the china cabinet's mirror, so that etchings of geese (on the back of the martini glass) are just visible in the reflection.
