The Story Behind the Design
The worker bee has been associated with Manchester since the Industrial Revolution, representing industry, resilience and the city's shared identity. This design places the bee at the centre of the composition, framed by the words "Made in Manchester" as a quiet celebration of place. Prepared specifically for engraving, the illustration balances fine detail with clear line work, allowing the distinctive form of the bee to remain crisp and legible on glass.
