About us

Bellpigeon was founded in 2005, by Jon Keynes and Catherine Daley.

It was born from a shared love of handwritten words and glass, and combining the two to create unique and personal gifts.

In a world where the computer and electronic communications rule, handwritten words and messages are becoming scarcer. By the very nature of being less common, they become more precious. Inscribing glass with words and thoughts gives them permanence (we sandblast your inscriptions to ensure that they are indeed permanent) and prominence, and unlike cards and letters, won’t be put away in a draw, but will create a lasting impression

Like a fingerprint, your handwriting is totally unique to you and although you may not think it, receiving a gift that contains both personal thought and effort, can be overwhelming – so pleased be warned unexpected things may happen!

Be as imaginative as you want, be as expressive as you dare.
