Portland Vase Study by Lesley Pyke

Portland Vase Study by Lesley Pyke

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.

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.
