About Your Glass
This traditional Masonic firing glass is modelled on 18th-century lodgeware, featuring a crisp conical bowl set on a rounded, weighted base. Made from 10 % lead crystal, it delivers the clear, resonant “click” required for firing toasts while feeling substantial in the hand. Every glass is individually masked, sandblasted, and polished in our Fife studio. Standard engravings take around 30–40 minutes to prepare; personalised crests or inscriptions add a little more time, ensuring a permanent satin finish worthy of the Craft’s heritage.

Personalisation Guidelines
We include up to 12 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.

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.
