What is the Crystal Cup on Black Pedestal Base, 9"?
A working crystal award. Full-lead crystal with high refractive brilliance and hand-finished edges. It measures 9". This is the black colorway.
Lead content increases the refractive index, which is the technical reason lead crystal throws more light and looks noticeably more brilliant under display lighting than ordinary glass. It also adds weight, which is a large part of why crystal reads as a premium award.
Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. Sand carving produces the deepest, most tactile mark. Laser engraving is faster and better suited to fine text and small logos.
Reserved for the occasion that actually earns it. One or two a year, presented properly, and on display for a decade after. Concretely: $150.00 each at 1-11, $93.00 at 500+.

Decoration options
The decoration method is chosen to match the substrate, which is why the mark is permanent rather than printed on top of it. Standard imprint area on this item is 4.63 in x 7.5 in.
Sand Carving
Abrasive is blasted through a cut mask to cut into the surface of the glass or crystal. A deep, frosted, dimensional mark you can feel with a fingertip.
Best for
Crystal and glass awards where depth and presence matter more than color.
Color
Frosted white, optionally color-filled.
Laser Engraving
A focused laser removes the surface layer to expose the substrate beneath. A permanent, high-contrast, single-color mark with no ink involved.
Best for
Logos, names, dates and fine text. The default choice when the mark has to outlive the campaign.
Color
Single color: the natural color of the material under the surface.
Color Fill
Engraved or carved recesses are filled with pigment. A permanent engraved mark that reads in brand color rather than substrate color.
Best for
Metal and crystal where the logo must be recognisably on-brand.
Color
Matched to Pantone where the recess allows.
Artwork requirements
- If the logo is only available as a bitmap, we need it at 300 dpi or better at final size, ideally on a transparent background.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.
- Vector files are the safe option. They hold their edges whether the mark runs at an inch or a foot.
- Outline your fonts before sending. It removes the most common cause of a proof coming back wrong.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- We send a digital proof for written approval before production starts. Nothing goes on a machine until you sign it off.
Production schedule
| Proof to you | Within one business day of usable artwork arriving |
|---|---|
| Production, standard | 3 to 5 business days, counted from your approval |
| Production, rush | quoted per job, confirmed in writing before you pay |
| Transit by ground | 1 to 5 business days, by distance from the shipping point |
Common uses
Executive recognitionExecutive recognition is where this earns its cost, and where buyers re-order it.
Top performer awardsWorks well for top performer awards, where the crystal award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Partner and board recognitionWorks well for partner and board recognition, where the crystal award format does what a printed handout cannot.
Client thank-you programsSent after a renewal, a referral or a project close, when the relationship is warm and the gesture will land.
Fundraising and donor recognitionThanking the people who gave, in a form that quietly encourages the next person to.
Service anniversariesFive, ten and twenty years. The object marks the span in a way a announcement never manages.
Sponsorship and partner thanksGiven to the people who funded or enabled the work, in a form they can keep visible.
Safety and quality milestonesMarking a record that took every person on the floor to achieve, with something they can point at.
Where this works best
The same item lands differently depending on who gets it and why. Here is how this one performs across the programs it sells into most.
1
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. A gift that lands on a client desk and stays there keeps working long after the meeting that prompted it. That argues for fewer, better pieces rather than a large volume of disposables, and for decoration that will still look intentional in two years. Decoration holds up in this setting, which is where cheaper substrates fail. Flagship recognition. One or two of these, not a programme.
2
Government, Military & First Responders
This segment is precise about protocol and unforgiving about quality. Procurement documentation often takes longer than production. Quotes with fixed validity periods, documented lead times and clear line-item pricing move faster through approval than a better price presented informally. An imprint area of 4.63 in x 7.5 in is enough for a logo and a line of text without crowding. This is the award people photograph. Budget it as a single line.
3
Nonprofit & Fundraising
Every pound spent on a donor gift is a pound not spent on the mission, so the gift has to earn it. Volunteer recognition is where the money works hardest. Volunteers give time that would otherwise cost you wages, and the marginal cost of thanking them properly is trivial against what their continued involvement is worth. $150.00 before breaks: reserved for the moment that warrants it.
4
Technology, SaaS & Startups
Distributed teams have no office to carry the culture, so the objects have to. Shipping a considered kit to a home address is now a standard part of remote onboarding, and it is the rare marketing spend that shows up in retention numbers. Ship-safe materials matter more here than in any other segment. Bought for the one occasion a year that genuinely earns it.
5
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. The presentation matters as much as the piece. An award handed over in a hallway is worth a fraction of the same award presented in front of the team, which means the object should be specified for the moment it will be photographed in, not the shelf it ends on. Minimum order is a single piece, which suits how this segment tends to buy. A centrepiece, not a run. Expect it on display for a decade.
6
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. The gift is often opened in front of colleagues, so it is judged as a signal about the relationship rather than as an object. Understatement is the safe default, and a name engraved properly does more than any material upgrade. Crystal is the accepted visual shorthand for "this one mattered", and that is why it remains the default for flagship recognition. The piece the room looks at. Price it as an event cost, not merchandise.

What do buyers ask about CRY073?
Do you keep this item in stock?
Yes. The warehouse shows 7 of CRY073 in stock as of the last hourly sync. If a color is short we say so the day you order rather than the week before the deadline. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
How long does production take?
Door to door at standard speed: a day for the proof, 3 to 5 business days in production, then 1 to 5 business days in transit. A rush is quoted per job, with the date confirmed in writing before you pay.
Can I order more later and have them match?
Yes. We keep the approved artwork on file against the item number, so a re-order runs from the same file. Material batches can vary slightly on natural materials, which is worth knowing if color matching across orders is critical. The published ladder on CRY073 runs from $150.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $93.00 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What happens if something arrives damaged?
We replace damaged pieces. Send a photograph and the item number within 10 days of delivery and we handle the carrier claim ourselves. If the box arrives visibly damaged, write that on the freight bill before signing. The replacement runs from the artwork you already approved, so it matches the rest of the order.
Can I mix colors or sizes to reach a quantity break?
Yes, provided the artwork stays the same across the run. Different artwork is fine as well: it gets its own proof, and setup stays free. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The published ladder on CRY073 runs from $150.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $93.00 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on CRY073 is 4.63 in x 7.5 in. If your mark does not sit well in that shape we redraw or re-proportion it and show you the result on the proof before anything is produced. Engraving is charged on the share of the area your artwork covers, so a smaller mark costs less.
Is there a setup charge?
There is no setup charge, ever. Art preparation, machine setup and the proof are part of the price on this page. Engraving is a separate line, shown per quantity in the cost table on this page, so the all-in figure is visible before checkout. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What is the minimum order for CRY073?
There is no minimum beyond one piece on CRY073. Price breaks on this item fall at 1-11, 12-23, 24-47, 48-95, 96-249, 250-499, 500+. The price per piece only goes down as the quantity rises. The published ladder on CRY073 runs from $150.00 a piece at 1-11 down to $93.00 at 500+, about 38% less per piece.

- Ground freight is free from 12 pieces, which is where this order passes $250.00 of merchandise.
- The personalization area is 4.63 in by 7.5 in. Engraving is charged on the share your artwork actually covers, so a smaller logo costs less. Place yours on the product above and the price updates as you size it.
- At 50 pieces this costs less than 35% of the 610 other priced items in Crystal & Glass. It sits at the dearer end of that range, which is usually the material rather than the margin.
- Setup is free at every quantity, including 1.
