A great salmon, caught at the very moment it leaps clear of the water, is a thrilling sight. Here, the drama is captured in exquisite detail by master engraver Nick Davey, the fish twisting upwards through a trail of tiny bubbles, its scales and fins beautifully defined.

The canvas is a handsome British-made Royal Brierley lead crystal whisky tumbler, its clear, substantial form allowing the engraving to catch the light — particularly when filled with the warm amber of a favourite malt.

This is a gift with character. For a keen fisherman, a lover of the countryside or someone who appreciates the work of a skilled craftsman, it offers something far more personal than an ordinary whisky glass.

Royal Brierley is one of the great names in English crystal, with a history dating back to 1776. Nick Davey’s hand-engraved sporting subjects bring that distinguished tradition to life, combining fine crystal with an artist’s remarkable eye for wildlife and movement.

Each tumbler is individually presented in its own Royal Brierley gift box, ready to give and a pleasure to keep.

Description

The Engraver’s Art

The beauty of this Royal Brierley tumbler lies in the skill of the engraver. The salmon is not simply a decorative motif: it is a sporting portrait, with the powerful body, open jaws, finely worked scales and delicate spray of bubbles conveying the excitement of a fish leaping from the water.

Freehand engraving on crystal is a demanding and increasingly rare craft. The artist must work directly on the glass, building up the image through finely controlled marks, variations of texture and subtle changes in depth. Light then brings the engraving to life.

The sporting designs are the work of Royal Brierley master engraver Nick Davey, whose beautifully observed wildlife subjects have long been admired by our Members. His leaping salmon is a particularly fine example of the engraver’s ability to capture movement in a material as unforgiving as crystal.

Royal Brierley — English Crystal Since 1776

Royal Brierley’s history began in 1776, in the heart of the celebrated glassmaking country around Stourbridge. More than two centuries later, its British-made crystal continues a distinguished tradition of skilled glassmaking and decorative craftsmanship.

The company’s long association with the Royal Household began in 1919, when King George V granted its first Royal Warrant. Today, Royal Brierley proudly holds a Royal Warrant from His Majesty King Charles III.

Its enduring reputation rests on the clarity and quality of its crystal, the skill of its craftsmen and an artistry that transforms everyday objects into things of lasting beauty.

A Sporting Gift to Treasure

The Leaping Salmon tumbler is made for enjoyment. Its generous proportions and substantial crystal base give it a satisfying presence, whether holding a favourite single malt or standing on a shelf where the engraving can be admired.

It is a particularly thoughtful gift for a salmon fisherman, a fishing host or anyone with happy memories of a day beside a salmon river.

Each tumbler is supplied individually in its own Royal Brierley presentation box.

Other sporting engravings available from CountryClubuk include Pheasant and Stag.
