The Story Behind the Design
Drawn from the dark waters of Scottish folklore, kelpies are said to guard the lochs — shapeshifting spirits that take the form of fierce and beautiful horses. This engraved design features two kelpies thundering out of wild, crashing waves, their backs turned to each other in mirrored defiance. It’s a design full of movement, energy, and mythology. Beneath the artwork, there’s space to add a personal message, making this more than just a gin glass — it’s a piece of storytelling, a symbol of strength and transformation, and a keepsake made for those who carry Scotland in their hearts.

About Your Glass
This classic copa de balon gin glass features a generous, rounded bowl, ideal for allowing the botanicals of gin and mixer to open up beautifully. It’s equally suited to artisan cocktails or Belgian-style beers. Each glass is individually masked, sandblasted, and polished in our Fife studio using traditional techniques. Simpler engravings take around 30–40 minutes, while personalised or intricate designs extend the quiet, careful process to ensure a crisp satin finish that will last a lifetime.

Our Technique
Our traditional sandblast engraving delivers crisp detail, deep texture, and a tactile satin finish that stands apart from laser or transfer methods. Hand-engraved in our Fife studio using single-use stencils, each piece is prepared, blasted, and polished by hand for exceptional sharpness and permanence.
How it’s done:
- Artwork is refined as a vector for clean, precise lines.
- A UV-exposed stencil is created for single-use masking.
- Stencils and tape are applied to the glass by hand.
- Each piece is sandblasted by hand for depth and detail.
- Finally, it’s cleaned, polished, inspected, and gift-boxed.
A time-honoured process that combines heritage craft with contemporary precision.
