I've been searching through my books, to find what it is called - there's  goblet on page 62 or GSavage Glass plate 82
'Goblet (perhaps English) stippled with a man dining, by Aert Schouman. Signed, dated 1751' - it's one of my very favourite pieces in that stippled technique.

Sorry folks....oldglassman wins it for me. That third piece is a stunner  :o  and the second piece I would think I was lucky if I saw it in a museum.  This thread was a good idea. Great to see the favourite pieces are so different.
Pete. :-)

Oldglassman is winning hands down for me too  ;D
Funnily enough, it's goblet No1 that floats my boat.
It is very simply, perfection. My hands are itching to hold it.

I have never seen that stippled technique before it is incredible.

Have a wee google on the name James Dennison-Pender if you'd like to see some amazing contemporary stippling.  ;D

I'll hold you to that, Peter.  :-*
(non-alcoholic but brewed, ginger beer for me - with a double belgian chocolate chip ice-cream float. Hmm, perhaps a bit messy for your perfect goblet!  ;D )
Cheers, Sue M. (she/her)
