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.

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:

  1. Artwork is refined as a vector for clean, precise lines.
  2. A UV-exposed stencil is created for single-use masking.
  3. Stencils and tape are applied to the glass by hand.
  4. Each piece is sandblasted by hand for depth and detail.
  5. Finally, it’s cleaned, polished, inspected, and gift-boxed.

A time-honoured process that combines heritage craft with contemporary precision.
