The Story Behind the Design

Engineered for strength and precision, the Challenger 3 Main Battle Tank is the pride of modern British armour — and now immortalised in glass. This engraved whisky tumbler features two detailed views of the tank, along with its core specifications: length, width, height, and weight. Whether marking a military connection, honouring a veteran, or gifting a fan of British engineering, this piece brings heritage and heft to any home bar.

What Makes It Special

  • Fine lines prepared as vector drawings for clarity and detail.
  • A clean glass surface that highlights the illustration.
  • A one-off design not tied to any wider collection.

Before engraving begins, you’ll receive an email with a digital proof of your layout. Please check all spelling, dates, names, punctuation, and design placement carefully.

Art & Illustration

Original artwork engraved with clarity and character.

This piece features an original illustration engraved into the glass using traditional sandblasting. Designed to stand alone rather than belong to a wider theme, it places the artwork at the centre, supported by a clear, polished surface that captures the detail with precision.

Not every design needs a story rooted in place or tradition. Some pieces exist simply because the artwork itself feels striking — a line drawing that catches the eye, an animal or motif with a quiet sense of character, or a playful detail that brings a moment of joy.

Each illustration is refined as vector artwork before engraving to ensure every curve, line or stipple remains crisp once reduced to glass scale. The sandblasting process gives the finished piece a soft, tactile depth that complements the design without overwhelming it.

This approach makes space for individuality. Whether chosen as a gift or kept for personal enjoyment, these one-off artworks create a sense of expression without needing a narrative framework.

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.
