Gin Glasses

Gin glasses are defined by their rounded bowl, offering a continuous curved surface for engraving.
Designs are carefully prepared to sit correctly within the form, with placement adjusted to maintain balance and clarity across the glass.
Engraved by hand in our Fife studio, each composition is developed to work with the shape, rather than against it.

The absence of a flat surface requires a considered approach to layout and stencil placement, particularly when working across a fully curved bowl.

Designs are positioned to remain legible from different angles, with careful control of spacing and alignment to maintain clarity in use.

The result is a balanced composition that sits naturally within the glass, shaped by both curvature and proportion.
