engraving glass

Hakemieke

my second hobby is engraving glass.
And I try this to do in combination with my other handworks.people who I give this as a present loves it very much :-)
It needs a very strong hand, good feeling, but If I take my time fore it, it's so nice to do :-)

Remarkable for sure. Congratulations!

Ofcoursely, I'd seen this carft before but never paid enough attention so I had to do some research... Very interesting by the way.

It has been practised since ancient times, including Roman glass, and professionally engraved glass has always been an expensive luxury, requiring lavish amounts of labour by a highly skilled craftsman or artist. In recent centuries the most notable periods and places of production started in the 16th century, initially mostly in Venetian glass, then later in Germany and Bohemian glass. From about 1645 it was used in the Netherlands, which was producing the finest engraving by 1700...

Lot of history behind!
