That's exactly the point. Nemesis was suggesting that you /should/ include some
focal blur in the final scene.

Good start Michael. There are pros and cons about the laboratory
environment for judging the glass but that is as it may be.
I wonder if there should not be more iridisation, iirc, because of the
age of Roman glass.

Thank you and all the others. I haven't understood the hint of nemesis since I
never encountered the phrase "depth of field" end espicially not its
abbreviation so far. So thanks to Cousin Ricky to point this out. I will use
focal blur within the finalisation of the scene. Stephen is right, the shape is
too perfect - despite the leaning bottle neck - but I will focus at the material
first. No, first I will put it out of the laboratory. A window sill overlooking
a garden for an unknown reason, with water and a flower ...
BTW the romans really crafted such glass ware. I modelled along an example from
a book about the topic. I exchanged the handle from an other glass but it is not
too much fluted. max_trace_level was 30 and the rendering time a little bit over
an hour at my new portable core i7.
Thanks for the suggestions and best regards
Michael

Finally, I decided not to use DOF. Although this would have yielded a
better artistic result, it would certainly have extended the render time
considerably, which was now just under a week (6d 22h 43m, of which 2d
6h 30m for the collection of photons).
I have added some irregularities in the decoration of the decanter.
Unfortunately, they are difficult to recognise. In fact, a lot of
glassware from this period was amazingly perfect. Here Stephen was only
partly right.
All the objects depicted are modelled after excavation findings in
Rhineland-Palatinate and the Netherlands, which are dated back to around
200 AD.
Best regards
Michael

Congrats, thread necromancing at its best! You almost broke my record...
See you in Khyberspace!
