To recreate the scene Cameo Engraved 2000 years ago has been my ambition for a long time. This is my first effort which I have enjoyed beyond words. I have hand engraved it(drill) on a large Tudor Crystal Challice.
I am now studying more about the many theories as to who these figures are...Fascinating! Does anyone know of any other hand engraved crystal copies? If you are not familiar with the ancient original Portland Vase, it is worth reading about in an encyclopedia site. Images

The Chairman and MD of Nazeing Glass Works, Mr. Stephen Pollock-Hill and myself (Lesley Pyke), at a private viewing of the Portland Vase, at the British Museum, London, for the purpose of studying this 2040 year old Masterpiece. What do you think of the earliest example of blown glass? It is so expertly cameo engraved I could not see how they had managed achieve such small perfect detail. I was almost speechless! |

I am a professional glass engraver, I have been in the business since 1983, after a myriad of fascinating commissions from a huge variety of customers, I am still challenged daily by my customers and when I have time I create my own pieces of art which I have permanently on exhibition for sale. Please have a look at my website where I also have a selection of short videos of my engraving.

Thank You
Lesley Pyke: Thank you very much for the compliment Newbery Art Glass , Oh yes this has to be studied and practiced, this is intaglio engraving on clear, eventually I will complete a cameo engraving. I find the clear more effective as you can see all of them eyeing each other out as never before!

BE Glass: excellent work. I was recently able to view the real thing in England at the royal history museum. You do it justice.

wow, ta!
Lesley Pyke: That is a very flattering comment, Boroburner. The name of the museum is the "British Museum", I have not seen it in real life as yet and look forward to the opportunity soon.

good luck, a real challenge.
Peter Cummings: I'm sure you're up to it from the pic's I've seen and the preparation. I saw a picture of a clear crystal copy of the portland vase but I can't remember where. It was the one carved by John Northwood and it was really beautiful.I spotted aninteresting article on the making of roman cameo glass recently. It will surprise a few people. Have a peek.I googled cameo glass, second page.'Recent investigations of early roman cameo glass' Can't post the link.
All the best, Peter.

Very Interesting
Lesley Pyke: Thanks for those details Peter, I had not heard of John Northwood. I have so much to learn about this story. Planning to see the vase next week when I am in London, but have been told it may not be on show.

Keep up the good work!
