Yes that is what happens. A now retired local engraver used to take all his work (to somewhere in Stourbridge I think) to have it acid polished.

I found some Webb glasses that have a few similarities to these, particularly the cutting on the knop but overall the cutting on the Webb examples was much denser with way more going on.

Nice shape.
The dating would make these from H.G. Richardson would it?

Presumably shortly before the takeover by Webb.

A more elaborate example from Webb, kind of in the same ball park: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/antique-webb-corbett-rock-crystal-1820691825
