Developed in bristol in the 1850's as an extention to the stone faceteting and copper wheel type used for drinking glasses, larger more powerful lathes spinnig clockwise 'the opposite' were used to cut plate glass for mainly the public houses who could afferd the huge cost, mainly due to the plate glass needed for cutting deep patterns.

All of these can be faithfully reproduced with exactly the same process today by our master cutter Ian Mckenzie, one of the last fully trained brillant cutters left in the world apprenticed to symons & symons the Adelaide mirror makers, commencing in the bevelling workshop at 15 years old,his knowldge spans over four decades.

Straight lines, curves, half cuts, punts (round circles) are combined to create endless patterns off all styles from traditional,art deco,or something to suit ultra modern we can achieve something for all tastes and with only a handfull of true craftmen left on earth eclusivity is par for the course.

While most of our work is now in the replacement of treasured pieces, we revel in the creation of new work, the satisfaction to see the face of a client after seeing a drawing or image given to us and then turned into a window of unique beauty is remembered long after any finacial return.

As lan says 'l love to see the delight upon someones face when recieveing a peice of my cut glass, 100% satistaction in over 30 years l must be doing something right. it's the only reason i do it'.
