Hand-engraved crystal panel, peacock motif, Studio Vetrarte
Wheel-Engraved Crystal

Drawing in glass,
line by line.

Each subject is hand-engraved directly onto crystal using traditional copper-wheel technique — the same discipline applied to marine mirrors, architectural panels and decorative glazing. No two panels are alike: every line is cut freehand, building depth and light through controlled abrasion rather than print or etching acid.

Technique — freehand copper-wheel engraving on solid crystal, multi-depth relief
Materials — extra-clear crystal glass, 10–19 mm, marine-certified laminated options
Applications — superyacht mirrors and partitions, architectural glazing, bespoke decorative panels
Subjects — figurative, botanical, heraldic or fully custom artwork to client brief
Marine Interior · Superyacht Engineering

Art glass
built for the sea.

Integrating fine art glass within high-end marine vessels demands rigorous adherence to naval engineering standards. Paolo Corpetti has supplied bespoke panels, Swarovski-inlaid ceilings and engraved crystal mirrors to some of the world's most prestigious shipyards.

Swarovski ceilings — custom inlaid glass panels for superyacht main salons
Engraved crystal mirrors — bespoke wheel-engraved, marine-certified framing
Decorative interior panels — leaded, sandblasted and fused art glass for cabins and lounges
Laminated safety backing — all panels engineered to withstand maritime stresses
