Star-glass

The Phial of Galadriel

More commonly called the Phial of Galadriel, the Star-glass was Galadriel's parting gift to Frodo Baggins when the Company of the Ring departed from Lórien. Made from crystal, it held a shimmering fragment of the light of the evening star suspended in the water of Galadriel's fountain.
