Some product photography showing personalisation
Occasionally some samples of glass shown on our web site can feature the manufacturers engraving. These images are used solely to illustrate the blank glass/ crystal pieces from the manufacturers catalogues.
All pieces provided to order by Teesdale Glass Engravers are hand engraved by Lawrence Staley
We are suppliers of Dartington Crystal. Some of their pieces are pre engraved , as shown on the individual product pages. These products can be commissioned for additional personalised engraving by Lawrence.

Due to the nature of glass and crystal, Lawrence may have to alter some aspects of the image agreed, to be able to engrave on curved surfaces, so that the finished result looks at its best

Unless specific instructions are discussed and agreed with customers about engraving size, the size of an image or lettering will be down to artistic interpretation and Lawrence’s judgement of what will work best with each piece. If you have exacting requirements please ensure you discuss with Joan before order confirmation.
