About Your Bottle
This vintage-inspired apothecary bottle combines old-world charm with practical versatility, making it ideal for spirits, infused oils, bath salts, or decorative display. Subtle character quirks within the glass itself add to its nostalgic appeal and individuality. Each bottle is engraved in our Fife studio using traditional sandblasting, a quiet, hands-on process that creates a deep, satin-smooth finish designed to last. Simpler engravings typically take around 30–40 minutes, while personalised or wraparound motifs allow extra time for artwork preparation and masking.

Hand wash only in lukewarm water with a mild dishwashing liquid.
Dry immediately with a soft, lint-free cloth.
Avoid abrasives or harsh cleaners to preserve the engraved finish.

Personalisation Guidelines
We include up to 30 characters of complimentary engraving underneath the design (including spaces between words or numbers), ensuring your message sits comfortably and remains legible beneath the artwork.
As part of this service, we’ll send one digital layout preview for approval before engraving begins. Need a little more? No problem, additional characters are charged at 30p each, and any further layout previews are charged at £2.50 each.
We always aim for a layout that balances beautifully and suits the shape of the glass, but final positioning is at the discretion of the studio.
Please note: Complimentary engraving is placed on the same side as the design. For alternative layouts or engraving on the reverse, please contact the studio before placing your order.
A note on returns
Once a piece includes any personalisation (even complimentary characters) it becomes made just for you and is non-returnable unless faulty. Please double-check names, dates and spelling before you confirm.
Delivery & Returns
Every clan crest and heraldic piece is engraved to order, created especially for you using designs from our Heraldic Archive or your own supplied details. Because each one is individually prepared, these items are treated as personalised and can’t be returned or exchanged unless they arrive faulty or not as described. We take great care with every engraving, and your statutory rights remain unaffected.
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.
A Note on Styling
To showcase the quality of our glassware, some images include bottles, books, or props for styling. These are for context only and are not included. Your purchase is for the glassware only. Unless explicitly stated otherwise (for example, a gift set containing two glasses or a decanter and glasses), each item is sold individually.
