PB / Prototype etching study

Custom glassware & whisky merchandise

Made for your table. Worn beyond it.

Quietly branded objects for private gatherings, host teams and gifts — developed around the occasion, not pulled from a catalogue.

Objects with a reason

The best mark feels as though it was always meant to be there.

We consider proportion, finish and use before any branding is applied. The result should belong naturally at the table, behind the bar or with the person wearing it.

What we can shape

One visual language. Several forms.

Guest keepsakes

Small-run pieces that hold the memory of a dinner, tasting or private gathering without becoming event clutter.

Beyond the glass

Wear the room, not a billboard.

Host wear is treated with the same restraint as the glassware: useful first, well made in feeling and recognisable without needing to shout.

Close consideration

From surface to stitch.

The character of a commission lives in the small decisions: depth, placement, thread, edge and the way an object feels in the hand.

Reference imagery establishes the material direction only. The exact maker, specification and production route are confirmed for each commission.

The commission

Brief. Proof. Handover.

    The proof

    Material, placement, finish and wording are agreed before a production route is confirmed.

  3. 03

    The handover

    Scope and timing are confirmed for the individual commission before work proceeds.
