The Story Behind the Design
A graphic composition inspired by Britain's ska revival, combining checkerboard motifs, classic footwear and dance culture.
Emerging from Britain's ska revival and the 2 Tone era, these engraved designs celebrate the music, fashion and dance culture that shaped a generation. From checkerboard graphics and dancing figures to sharp tailoring and classic footwear, each design reflects the distinctive visual language of the scene.
Prepared specifically for engraving, the artwork has been simplified to remain crisp and recognisable on glass while preserving the character of the original illustration.
The design is positioned to maintain proportion and spacing, ensuring the form remains clear at the chosen scale.
Engraving & Personalisation
A short personal inscription may be included with this design. Each engraving is arranged in the studio to suit the composition of the glass.
If your requirements extend beyond the personalisation available on this listing, please get in touch. Longer inscriptions or more complex requirements may require a bespoke quotation.
