Antarctica Beaker

Exhibition: General Exhibition 2023
Description of your entry: This Antarctica Beaker was hand engraved with no base etch which allowed more freedom to develop the landscape during the engraving process. The Basse taille textures and colour palette are intended to evoke the ice in its various forms and at different times of the day. The inside is gilded to minimise the need for cleaning, which could interfere with the taste of the chosen tipple!
