Frans Greenwood was a Dutch glass engraver and printmaker active in the 18th century. He pioneered a technique of fine stippled engraving on glass vessels, creating intricate landscapes and figural compositions through accumulated dot-work rather than linear incision. Working in Dordrecht and The Hague, Greenwood elevated decorative glassware to a form of refined artistic practice, influencing subsequent generations of Northern European glass artists. His work bridged the traditions of Dutch printmaking and the emerging aesthetic of rococo decorative arts.
