The Story Behind the Design

From the stillness of lochs to the roar of legend, the kelpie has always been a creature of contradiction — both inviting and untamed. This design brings that spirit to life with two kelpies surging out of turbulent water, their forms turned away from each other as if guarding the wild from both sides. The engraving captures motion and myth in equal measure, with space below for a personal message. Whether gifted or kept, this glass carries the quiet force of folklore — made for reflection, ritual, and remembrance.

What Makes It Special

  • A hand-drawn design inspired by creatures and stories from Scotland’s rich folklore.
  • Traditional sandblasting lends depth and definition to expressive, story-led linework.
  • Thoughtfully crafted to balance symbolism, atmosphere and gentle imagination.
  • A meaningful gift for lovers of folklore, storytelling and quiet enchantment.
  • Engraved to order in our Fife studio, each piece prepared with care.

A subtle tribute to the tales that linger in our landscapes.

Created with a light touch and a respect for origin, each piece offers a quiet connection to the myths that shape our sense of place.

Traditional Sandblast Engraving

For over four decades, every glass that leaves our studio has been engraved using a time-honoured sandblasting technique, a craft rooted in precision, patience, and the belief that meaningful gifts deserve more than a quick machine-made mark. Unlike surface printing or shallow laser etching, sandblast engraving cuts softly into the glass to create a deep, permanent finish with a beautifully tactile feel. It’s the reason our designs look crisp from every angle and remain flawless for a lifetime.

  1. Artwork Refined With Care

    Your chosen design or personalisation is transformed into precise vector artwork, a format that captures every fine line, curve, and serif. This allows us to prepare an engraving layout that balances perfectly on the shape of the glass. Whether it’s a portrait, a crest, or a message, every element is positioned by hand to ensure it sits naturally within the piece.

  2. Creating the Single-Use Stencil

    The artwork is then transferred onto a specialist stencil using UV exposure. Each stencil is created for one single engraving only, never reused, which means the edges remain sharp and the details stay crisp. The stencil is carefully hand-applied and burnished onto the glass to protect every area that should remain clear.

  3. Hand-Engraved Using Fine Aluminium Oxide

    The glass is taken into the blasting cabinet, where a controlled stream of fine aluminium oxide gently cuts into the exposed areas of the surface. This stage is done entirely by hand, allowing us to deepen lines, soften shading, and shape textures in a way machines simply cannot replicate. Each piece takes time — but the result is unmistakable: a smooth satin finish with real depth and character.

  4. Finishing, Polishing & Inspection

    Once engraved, the stencil is removed and the glass is thoroughly cleaned and polished to reveal the final detail. Every piece is then checked for balance, clarity, depth and alignment. Only when it meets our studio’s standards is it gift-boxed and ready to become part of someone’s story.

Sandblast engraving has been at the heart of our work since 1982. It remains the most beautiful and enduring method of personalising glass, a blend of heritage craft and modern precision. From small keepsakes to intricate commissions, every piece is made by hand, one at a time, from our studio in Fife.
