Abstract: A stemware drinking vessel comprising of a bowl, stem, and base, or “foot”, where the base below the stem is shaped and functions as a magnifying glass or magnification device. The base is clear and most commonly circular and dome shaped, with the stem attaching to base at the apex of the dome base. The clear magnifying glass base also has a light source built into the base, such as an LED, whose power supply is contained within the base. The light or lights within the base directs light downward, beneath the base, enabling the user, upon holding the stemware above the intended viewing object or reading material and looking through the base, to see both a magnified and lighted enhancement of what is below, such as a dining menu in a dimly lit restaurant to present the scrumptious desserts.
