Gin Glasses

Gin glasses are defined by their rounded bowl, offering a continuous curved surface for engraving. Their shape creates a different design problem from straight-sided glassware, with placement and spacing carrying greater importance across the form.

The Story Behind the Collection 

The absence of a flat surface calls for a considered approach to layout and stencil placement. Designs are positioned to remain legible from different angles, with spacing and alignment adjusted to follow the curvature of the bowl and create a balanced composition around the glass.
