This is a clear glass vase/candle holder, hand engraved with butterflies flying all around the form. It is a beautiful, fully functional piece as well as a highly decorative work of art. When lit with a candle the engravings are illuminated & project shadows a short distance. This piece would be great as a treat for yourself or a perfect gift for a birthday, housewarming, wedding, anniversary or particularly lovely as a gift for mum! 11cm tall Drill engraving uses a diamond bur to mark the surface of glass. The technique I use is to carve deep into the glass to simulate depth when viewed from the other side. Then areas are polished & highlighted in such a way to enhance the features of the engraving & create light & shadow. All packaging i.e boxes & bubble wrap is reused/ recycled so that limited new materials are used. (Every little helps in the fight against global warming!) After something a little different? If you have a design in mind that you would like to commission please message me & I will see what I can do. Please see more of my glass engravings through the links below or go through to my page. You will not see these detailed engravings anywhere else as they are designed & hand engraved by me.
