(couldnt trace the artist, have given the pieces to a friend as housewarming pressie ;D)
krsilber:
Andy, yes, that is also "diamond point," though the technique on these modern examples is different from the diamond point engraving of the 16th and 17th centuries. I've done the same sort of thing with my Dremel.
There's an artist, Paul Darlington, who does stipple diamond point engraving: using a diamond-tipped stylus (no electricity) makes thousands of dots to form an image. Amazing work. For some reason the links to his site don't work anymore.
I found lots of references for Ernest Michael Dinkel and examples of his work, but nothing else on glass. Same guy that johnphillip mentions, though, based on the dates.
Patrick:
Hi, Just found this with a reference to him being a Master Engraver !!!!!!
Quote;-
" Master engraver Michael Dinkel arranged for Messrs Steven Williams, of Stourbridge, to cut and polish the glass. Messrs Harris and Edgar, of Croydon, set the glass panels within the white bronze frame."
