This one and one similar I hand engraved some years ago showing a tiger hunting scene in India in the day's of the British Empire 19th-20th century, it's one of my favourites.

The driver would want time to plug his ears. That is fantastic work, so much action.

Cost is a problem Matt, especially in this recession in England -glass engraving aint what it used to beQuote:

Those glasses would look even more spectacular with a good double shot of Single Malt Islay and a couple of cubes of ice in them. :)
A man could then admire your art work after a hard days slog while slowly sampling the nectar of the gods.

Great talent, Purdys shop in London would love those to sell!
How much would a glass like that cost?
At Purdys about 5000 pound considering a small Chinese made ceramic mug with a hunting scene tranfer on it was 25 pound!Quote:

David well worth that sort of money for the craftsmanship, do you every break one in the process? And is is an annealed glass you use?Quote:
