Description
The crystal book award is a pair of flat optical crystal panels with rounded arch tops, fused at a slight angle so the piece stands open like a book. Each top edge is left rough and chipped against the polished faces, and the whole thing measures 6 by 5 inches with no base or mount underneath.
An open book shape belongs to education and to publishing, so schools, libraries, universities and training organisations reach for it first. A department head retiring after twenty years. A teacher of the year. A literacy programme thanking a funder. Law firms and professional institutes use it too, because a book reads as record and precedent rather than as competition. Deep etch covers 3 by 4 inches, and the two panels give a natural split: a crest or logo on one face, the citation on the other, so the copy is read the way a spread is read. The rough top edges keep the piece from looking machine made when it sits among printed volumes on a shelf.
Shoppers narrowing down crystal awards often compare this with the Custom Sphere Globe, which solves a different problem. A globe says reach and scale. A book says knowledge and record, and it is the safer pick for an academic audience that would find a globe corporate. Shelf behaviour differs too: the book stands flat against a wall of spines, while the sphere needs clear space around it on every side.
Send the citation text and PPI returns a proof showing how the wording splits across both panels, with the finished pieces ready five working days after that layout is approved.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a crystal book award made from?
The crystal book award is made from two flat panels of clear optical crystal joined at a slight angle. Rounded arch tops and deliberately rough upper edges give the open book effect. No base or mount is used, since the angle itself provides the stability.
How is a crystal book award decorated?
The crystal book award takes deep etching in an area of 3 by 4 inches. Splitting artwork across the two panels reads naturally, with a crest on one face and the citation on the other. A proof shows how the wording will divide before anything is cut.
Which organisations order a crystal book award most?
The crystal book award goes mainly to schools, libraries, universities and training organisations. Law firms and professional institutes order it as well, since a book reads as record rather than competition. Retirements and teacher recognition are the two most common uses.
Does the piece stand up without a base?
The crystal book award stands on its own because the two panels are fused at a slight angle. That angle spreads the footprint and keeps the piece upright on a flat surface. Nothing else is supplied or needed.
Are the rough top edges intentional?
The crystal book award is finished with the top edge of each panel left rough and chipped. That contrast against the polished faces is a design choice, not a flaw in the crystal. Buyers who want a fully smooth outline should look at a bevelled panel award instead.
How long does a crystal book award take to make?
The crystal book award is produced in five working days counted from artwork approval. A proof of the etch layout comes before that. Shipping time is added on top of production.
What drives the cost of a book award order?
The crystal book award is priced on quantity, the etch size used and the artwork setup required to prepare the file. A repeat run from the same file skips that setup. A written quote lists each line before anything is produced.
