Is there a minimum order for €5 a glass?
I was thinking of getting my own ones done up but don't think I'll need loads of them![/quote:26ehivp7]
No there was no mention of minimum but I never asked. if you are only getting 2 or 3 id say they would charge a bit more as I got an order of 15 and then an order of 7 the next time, keeping the same design but different glass and it went from €5 a glass to €4.
here is a picture of my two glasses with the same design, put in a guinness pint glass for comparison, camera quality isnt the best though.

One downside is that the darker the beer the harder it is to see the engraving! which sounds odd but be warned if that would disappoint you. I might upload one next time I fill it with a light ale and a stout for comparison.
If we are buying a few then maybe screen printing and firing is an option. One-off engraving is always "one-off" and expensive. For bulk "engraving" they use an acid etch after screen printing a resist ( usulally wax ).
The etched/engraved/sand blasted deisgn is difficult to see when wet.
