Decanters & Carafes

Decanters and carafes offer a larger, more considered surface for engraving, allowing designs to sit with clarity and balance across the glass.
Each piece is prepared in the studio to suit its form, whether a flat panel or a gently curved body, ensuring the composition remains clean and legible.
Engraved by hand in our Fife studio, these pieces carry a quiet presence, shaped by proportion and restraint.

The Story Behind the Collection

The larger scale of decanters allows for more detailed compositions, including monograms, crests, and multi-element designs.
Each layout is adjusted to work with the proportions of the piece, ensuring the engraving remains balanced when viewed from different angles.
The result is a considered composition that sits naturally within the glass, holding its clarity over time.

Designed for permanence, each engraving becomes part of the piece itself, defined by form, light, and proportion.
