Grand Union Lodge 9641: Presentation Sets for a Lodge Meeting
Share
This work involved preparing multiple engraved glassware sets for a lodge presentation evening.
The Commission
The initial request was for three sets:
- A wine decanter with two Atelier wine glasses
- A whisky decanter with two Atelier whisky glasses
- A separate pair of Atelier wine glasses, engraved on both sides
Each piece carried the lodge crest on the front, with a personalised inscription set on the reverse.
Reference and Preparation
The crest included a number of detailed elements, requiring full redraw as engraving artwork.
Linework and spacing were refined to ensure the design would remain legible across different glass forms, with particular attention given to how the crest would sit on curved surfaces. Reverse inscriptions were prepared to align consistently across all pieces.
Additional Work
A second order followed, prepared for the same event.
This included a wine decanter with matching glasses, along with an additional pair of glasses, all engraved to the same standard and layout.
Engraving
All pieces were transferred to stencil and sandblasted, producing a consistent etched finish across the full set of items.
Outcome
The completed work formed a coordinated group of presentation pieces, prepared for use within a single event.
