Raise your glass to India’s railway legacy. Our “Fairy Queen Heritage Engraved Whiskey Glass” is more than just drinkware — it’s a tribute to one of India’s most cherished icons: the Fairy Queen, the 1855-built steam locomotive that still runs under steam in heritage service. It is the worlds oldest running steam locomotive.
Why this glass is special
-
Historically rich design: We’ve precision engraved a finely detailed silhouette of the Fairy Queen in its classic form — boiler, wheels, star emblem, smokestack — preserving all historical cues without embellishment.
-
Collector’s appeal: For veterans of the Indian Railways and rail buffs alike, this glass is a keepsake — a nod to the steam age, when engines were mechanical marvels and every journey felt grand.
-
Symbol of pride: The Fairy Queen carries the legacy of East Indian Railway No. 22, built by Kitson, Thompson & Hewitson in Leeds, brought to India in 1855, and later restored to steam service.
-
A piece of heritage: Recognized by Guinness in 1998 as the world’s oldest steam locomotive in regular service, the Fairy Queen also won the National Tourism Award in 1999.

The Making
Each Glass Collection concept starts with procuring detailed blueprints of the design and then designing the cuts on Adobe Illustrator. These drawings are then passed on to the laser which then cuts fine lines on the glass. These are then hand engraved again to a shimmering finish with brilliant clarity.

For me, it's a part of my husband's career...how cool is that! And cooler still when you have whiskey with ice in the glass! I bought this glass for my hubby, who was one of the pioneer members of this helicopter squadron, the first dedicated gunship Mi-25 in the IAF.
The quality of the glass is excellent, and the etching, too is awesome.
Ashwyn Fonseca
The work and product is outstanding! It is probably only rivaled by the fantastic and personalized customer service and support. Keep shining!

I don’t quite know how to thank you, Retriever Glasses. The Tempest is stunningly accurate and beautifully crafted. The weight and feel of the heavy-bottomed glass are just perfect for an evening with friends—whether it’s a shot of Single Malt or a well-made cocktail.
It brought back a wave of nostalgia from a time just before I was born, when my father, then a Flying Officer, carried out countless raids over Pakistan—bombing, rocketing, and strafing hideouts and installations in Skardu, Pandu, Tithwal, Mirpur, Nausadda, Zojila, and many other places (all this gleaned from his Log Books).
I’ll certainly be back for more—and then some. You’ve truly made my day.

I was among the very first customers to order this set, and I couldn’t be happier with the purchase. I got these glasses as a gift for my Air Force–crazy friend, and she absolutely LOVED them! The quality is outstanding — the glasses have a solid, premium feel and the weight is just right, which makes them perfect to hold. What really stood out to me was the precision and detail of the engraving. The craftsmanship is so clean and sharp that it adds a really elegant touch. It’s rare to find something that combines both utility and such meaningful design so well. These glasses made for a truly special gift, and I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for something unique and beautifully made.
