A method of manufacturing an etched glass article (10) includes the steps of a) jetting an image (2) with a UV curable inkjet ink on a surface of the glass article; b) UV curing the image (2); c) etching the surface not covered by the UV cured image (3) to obtain an etched image (4); d) removing the UV cured image (2) in an aqueous alkaline solution. The invention is characterized in that the UV curable inkjet ink comprises a polymerizable composition, wherein at least 80 wt% of the polymerizable composition consists of: a) 15.0 to 70.0 wt% of an acryl amide; b) 20.0 to 75.0 wt% of a polyfunctional acrylate; c) 1.0 to 15.0 wt% of a (meth)acrylate containing a carboxylic acid group, a phosphoric acid group or a phosphonic acid group, wherein all weight percentages (wt%) based on the total weight of the polymerizable composition.
