Narciso Rodriguez Fragrance Bottle Engraving - Houston Calligrapher

This past weekend I had the pleasure of engraving for Narciso Rodriguez fragrances at Macy’s. There were many clients that desired fragrance bottles engraved for gifts or simply for themselves. This beautiful glass bottle of perfume was engraved with a simple “Happy Birthday”. I was able to engrave this bottle with a bur that was probably slightly larger than I would normally use to engrave a fragrance bottle. It was likely just what was in my drill at the time…. Nevertheless, i believe that the result was nice and allowed for a small flourish on the “Birthday”.

I recall that the glass on this bottle is relatively smooth. It is interesting that the glass on fragrance bottles is typically smoother than wine or spirit bottles. With that, I will often use a smaller bur due to the need for smaller messages engraved in the fragrance bottles. Smaller burs however have their disadvantages for me as they tend to lack the durability of the larger burs. However as with anything, everything has its place. Cheers!
