"Goblet" is a chromolithograph from the "Novelties" series of trading cards issued by Kinney Bros. Tobacco Company in 1889. The card depicts a stylized goblet with a woman's face within the bowl, a common motif in Victorian era design. This particular card is a prime example of the "trade card" genre popular in the late 19th century, where companies used illustrations to advertise their products. The card, measuring 1 9/16 × 1 9/16 inches, is now housed in the Metropolitan Museum of Art, New York.
