Engraved Crystal Wine Glasses

An engraved crystal wine glass is the gift that earns its place. Heavy in the hand, brilliant when the light catches it, and unmistakably yours when the monogram is deep-carved into the side. It is what you give for the 15th anniversary, the wedding registry, the host who has everything, or for your own table when you want every pour to feel like an occasion.

Every piece in this collection is sand-carved by hand in our Connecticut studio, with the name, monogram, or date you choose. The carving removes a background panel around your design, leaving the engraving raised from the crystal surface for a three-dimensional finish that you can feel as well as see. Free personalization on every order. Ships in 2 to 4 business days.

Why give engraved crystal wine glasses

Crystal is the traditional 15th anniversary gift, a tradition rooted in the idea that the clarity, weight, and brilliance of crystal reflect the depth of a long marriage. A pair of engraved wine glasses turns that tradition into a piece the couple will use across a thousand future toasts.

Outside of anniversary buying, engraved crystal wine glasses are a wedding registry favorite, a hostess gift that punches above its price tag, and a self-purchase upgrade for the home bar. The crystal catches the light. The engraving makes it yours. Together they signal "this was chosen on purpose" in a way generic stemware cannot.

How to personalize your crystal wine glass

Each piece in this collection uses one of three personalization patterns. The product page for each spells out the exact fields.

• Monogram only: A single initial deep-carved into a shield, crest, or scroll background (most common for self-purchase).
• Monogram plus name: A single initial above the family last name (THE ANDREWS or just ANDREWS).
• Couple's names plus date: Two first names plus the wedding or established date (MARY & JOSHUA / EST. 2010), most common for anniversary and wedding gifts.

Quick gift guide by who is buying

• Buying for a 15th anniversary: A pair of engraved crystal wine glasses with both first names and the EST. year is the safe-bet pick.
• Buying for a wedding registry or wedding gift: Match the engraved wine glasses to a Crystal Decanter for a stemware-plus-decanter set. The Crested Crystal Decanter in this collection is the natural pairing.
• Buying for the host who has everything: The Monogrammed Stemless Wine Glass in red, green, or blue brings a flash of color to the table. Order a set of two with a shared initial for the couple, or a set of four in mixed colors for a dinner party.
• Buying for yourself: Start with one stemless. If it earns a permanent spot on the bar cart, add the matching decanter the next round.

Matching crystal pieces in this collection

For a fuller crystal stemware set, this collection includes the matching pieces our wine-glass buyers most often pair: the Crystal Black Swan Martini Glasses for cocktail nights, and the Crested Crystal Decanter for serving the bottle alongside the engraved wine glasses. Both are made from the same lead-free crystal as the wine glasses and use the same sand-carving technique for the personalization.
