The Story Behind the Design

The worker bee has been associated with Manchester since the nineteenth century, originally reflecting the industry and activity of the city during its manufacturing growth.

Over time it has become one of Manchester’s most familiar visual symbols. In this design the bee sits beneath the words Made in Manchester, with the wings, body and fine surface detail retained within a strong central silhouette.

The composition brings the historic symbol and contemporary expression together in a simple statement of place and identity.

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.

A Personalisation Layout is provided before engraving so you can check the wording, names, dates and other factual information supplied with your order.

The Glass

Traditional tulip-bowled wine glass with balanced stem and defined engraving panel.

The Signature wine glass features a gently curved tulip bowl set on a proportionate stem and stable foot. The forward-facing bowl curve provides a clear engraving field, allowing crests, monograms or multi-line text to be positioned with measured spacing and legibility.

The moderate bowl depth and clean silhouette support both display and table use without visual distraction from excessive contouring.
