Hand-Blown Art Glass Sphere Award

Companies, athletic associations and civic groups typically buy the hand-blown art glass globe award to honor a stand-out contributor. Award committees like it because each piece reads as personal rather than off-the-shelf. It fits a one-time gift as well as a themed award night.

A hand-blown art glass globe award relies on a glassblower's shaping instead of machine faceting. Its curves feel softer than a piece cut on a wheel. A faceted design, such as the Intricately Cut Lead Crystal Vase, gets its sparkle from angled cuts instead. Choose the globe for an organic look and the vase for a sharper, faceted one.

The hand-blown art glass globe award comes in three sizes, 4 inches, 4.75 inches and 6.25 inches. Each size ships as a single unit rather than as a set. The base stays proportional to the globe at every size, so the etched area scales with it.

Light bends through the glass and pools inside a hand-blown art glass globe award. The highlights shift as the viewing angle changes. A buyer can pick a clear, gold, purple or two-tone base to change how that color reads. Thickness and clarity vary slightly from piece to piece since each globe is shaped by hand.

Deep etch is the only decoration method offered on the base of the art glass globe award. It does not extend onto the globe itself. The etched area grows from the smallest size up to the largest. It suits initials, a short title or a presentation date.

The minimum order for the hand-blown art glass globe award is one unit. A single unit covers one honoree. That minimum applies whether you pick the 4 inch, 4.75 inch or 6.25 inch size. There is no case quantity to reach before ordering.

Production takes 5 business days for every size of the hand-blown art glass globe award. We do not offer a rush or expedited option for this piece. Plan the order date around that lead time before a scheduled ceremony.

Employee-of-the-year presentations, community service recognitions and alumni honor events commonly use the hand-blown art glass globe award. It also works as a stand-alone gift outside of a formal ceremony. Because each base takes a name or logo, it adapts to almost any single-recipient program.

Size is the main pricing factor for the hand-blown art glass globe award. The 6.25 inch globe uses more glass than the 4 inch version. We also weigh the extent of base personalization requested. Base color, such as clear, gold, purple or two-tone, typically matters less than size.

Keep the hand-blown art glass globe award out of direct sunlight and away from a shelf edge. Wipe the surface with a soft, dry or lightly dampened cloth. Handle it by the base rather than the globe, since each piece is hand-blown and can chip.
