Metallic Silver Art Glass Plaque Floating Above Black Piano Finish

An art glass plaque is a recognition award that mounts a decorative glass panel onto a finished backing board, then etches artwork into the glass and a citation into the board. The Metallic Silver Art Glass Plaque Floating Above Black Piano Finish sets a fused metallic glass panel over a gloss black board and can hang on a wall or stand on a desk. Buyers pick this format when an award needs to carry both a logo and several lines of wording.

An art glass plaque splits the decoration across 2 surfaces, while a standard flat plaque carries every line on one engraved plate. Here the logo is deep etched into the raised glass panel and the citation goes into the black board below it, so the mark reads from across a room while the wording stays legible up close. The glass panel also adds thickness and weight that a single-plate plaque does not have.

Yes, and 1 color fill is included so the etched artwork reads in color instead of frosted white. Deep etching cuts the design below the glass surface, which keeps the detail visible at an angle and protects it from rubbing off. Production starts only after you approve the artwork proof, so spelling and logo placement get checked before anything is cut. Color fills beyond the 1 included are quoted separately.

The art glass is made in America, which covers the decorative panel that carries the etched logo. Ask for that origin statement in writing if a domestic sourcing program requires documentation on the purchase order. No third-party safety or environmental certification applies to this piece, since glass and lacquered awards fall outside food-contact and electrical standards.

Production runs 5 working days, and the clock starts at artwork approval rather than at the date you place the order. Transit time is added on top of production, so build shipping days into the schedule when a ceremony date is fixed. Sending artwork early is the single biggest thing that protects a deadline, because a slow proof approval pushes everything behind it.

Floating glass plaques are ordered most often for safety milestone programs, volunteer appreciation nights, dealer or franchise of the year awards, board member farewells, hall of fame inductions, and sponsor recognition at fundraising galas. These programs usually name a specific accomplishment, so the citation area matters as much as the logo. Write the wording around the achievement itself, not just a title and a date.

Pricing on this glass award is quoted per order instead of published, because the cost moves with the details of the job. The factors that change the per-unit price are order quantity, the finish selected, the amount of deep etching, any color fills beyond the 1 included, and the shipping method needed to hit a ceremony date. Send a quantity and your artwork to get a per-unit price and a confirmed ship date.

Wipe the glass panel with a soft, dry microfiber cloth, and use a lightly damp cloth for fingerprints. Keep ammonia-based glass cleaner off the etched area, since repeated contact can dull a color fill. Dust the black piano finish with a clean dry cloth only, because grit dragged across gloss lacquer leaves fine scratches. Never use abrasive pads or scouring powder on either surface.
