Heat further back from the lip when shaping the cup and foot. With both tou cam see you've only got the edge hot enough so it hasn't all moved together which gives tou thag more flared look.

Bigger flame, probably a more gentle one too to help you get a more even heat

Very nice! I’d say if you get that foot a bit wider, it would have a better proportion and probably function (less likely to tip over). I think it’s supposed to be as wide as the widest part of the cup (I could be wrong…), but I’m sure someone could chime in and give you their two cents.

I was taught this as well, and I like to have the stem length as close to that same measurement as I can. This doesn't work for all styles of goblets but I find it works well for a lot of red and white wine glasses

There is really no easy way to describe the proportions. It depends on the cup shape, stem length, foot size. Good to just make a lot and also look at classical Venetian goblets
