Stipple engraving is the art of creating pictures on glass made up of tiny dots scratched on the surface.The greater the density of dots the lighter the tone becomes. Traditionally a diamond point was used but in modern times Tungsten carbide is more usual. No power or acid is used. This traditional art form originated in Holland in about 1720 and flourished until about 1810. Then it vanished until it was revived in England in 1935.
