  Try the following: 
  The Getty Museum:  www.getty.edu
  Look under "Museum', 'Explore art', 'Types of Art', drop down select 'Decorative Objects and Vases'.   Take a look at the Drinking Vessels, several pages in are some engraved glasses.  
  ex: (also site has a number of painted italian and german goblets and beakers)

  Corning Museum of Glass: http://www.cmog.org/default.asp
  You may have to pop around in the current, future and past exhibits. 
   
  You may also be interested in this recent article that I dug up off google, about a recently unknown glass collection from a South American collector to be on display at the Corning:

  And this link to glass collections in the US:

  I'd imagine there would be displays on european websites since may of the glass is from Germany, Austria, Italy and France, but the one's I have linked I was not able to find anything.   The Getty in California seems to be the best bet so far. 
   
  Good luck, Hillary
