Glass display cabinet
A vitrine is a glass display case or cabinet, typically used in museums, galleries, or shops to exhibit objects while protecting them: The jewels gleamed behind the vitrine.
The word retains a slightly formal or elegant connotation from its French origin, suggesting something more refined than an ordinary display case.
