Yes, I’m sure the goblet in the Harrach book has been mechanically ground, especially given what is said in Farbenglas. It’s a shame though that they don’t seem to say anything in the Harrach book to indicate when they might have started to also use acid matting, they just say ‘matte treated’. It would be useful to know when acid matting became available as an option.
For those without the Farbenglas book, page 127 showing the mechanically ground goblet can be seen here:

The etching is on the outside surface. The matt frosted areas are by abrasion (grinding). I believe it has been acid etched, then frosted. Seven inches high.When I said it has been acid etched, then frosted, that is the vermicular pattern was acid etched first, then the surface was frosted by abrasion.
