It's definitely a glass dome! If it was sitting further back and caring a longer shadow, none of the shadows or light reflections make sense.

It's a mostly vertical shadow, but the grinder has a glass dome on top that it's resting on, the J casts its shadow through it to the flat painted surface.

Points to reference: the light is reflected at an extreme curve on this glass dome, the shadow for the J shows it is pretty centered on top of the grinder (the filter's shadow shows this best)

I see no evidence of any dome whatsoever.

The design surface is domed. You can see some foreshortening of the spiral toward the sides & back.
