What is the Glass Clock with Frosted Top, Polished Edges and Base?
Glass Clock with Frosted Top, Polished Edges and Base (BC985): a desk clock where Annealed glass with polished edges and a clear, even body does most of the work. It measures 5" x 6 1/4". This is the frosted colorway.
In practice: glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person..
A clock is looked at deliberately, several times a day, for years. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. The two together are why this item re-orders.
This is relationship spend. Key accounts, long service, the people who genuinely moved a number: the list should be short and every piece should carry a name. Concretely: $66.00 each at 1-11, $40.92 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 in x 4 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.
UV Printing
UV-cured ink is jetted directly onto the product and cured instantly under ultraviolet light. Full-color, photographic-quality artwork with hard edges and no dot gain.
Best for
Multi-color logos, gradients, photographs and exact brand-color matching.
Color
Full color, including white ink on dark substrates.
Artwork requirements
- Send the file you have, even if it is imperfect. We will tell you honestly whether it will hold up and redraw it if it will not.
- If brand color accuracy matters, give us the Pantone numbers rather than a screenshot to match.
- Name the PMS values for anything that has to match a brand standard; screen color is not a reliable reference.
- A digital proof comes back to you first, every time. Production starts on your written approval and not before.
- Artwork we redraw stays on file under your item number, so the next order runs from the same corrected file.

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
Financial Services, Insurance & Legal
Professional services sell trust, and the gift has to look like the invoice. Understated materials, restrained decoration and genuine quality all read as competence. Anything that looks cheap actively undermines the positioning, so this segment skews toward crystal, leather and solid desk pieces. Deep etch sand carving frosts the surface for a bright white mark that photographs well. Laser engraving handles finer detail. Reserve it for named recipients: key clients, top performers, long service.
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. The desk clock format earns its place here on keep-rate rather than headline price. This is a shortlist item. Individual personalisation is expected at this level.
3
Corporate Gifting & Client Appreciation
Client gifting has one job: to be kept. The recipient is rarely the decision maker you are trying to reach, which is the part most programs get wrong. Choose something that will sit in a shared space rather than a drawer, and the gift starts working on people who were never on your list. $66.00 before breaks buys something that stays on a desk for years.
4
Employee Recognition & Service Awards
Recognition fails when the object does not match the words. If you are marking five or ten years of someone's working life, the piece has to carry weight. Literally and otherwise. Personalization with the individual's name is what converts a company gift into a personal keepsake, and it is the single highest-leverage decision in a recognition program. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.. Give this to the handful of people who genuinely moved the number.

What do buyers ask about BC985?
Can you work to a fixed in-hand date?
Yes, and it is the right way to brief us. Tell us the date the box has to be open rather than the date you want it shipped, and checkout works the schedule backwards from there. It refuses a date it cannot keep rather than accepting it and missing it. Standard production is 3 to 5 business days after proof approval, then 1 to 5 business days of ground transit.
Do you ship to multiple addresses?
Yes, through a quote. Card checkout ships one order to one address, so for a split run send the address list with a quote request and we confirm the freight for every destination in writing before you pay. The artwork is proofed once and applied across the whole run. Ground freight is free on orders over $250.
What if the artwork does not fit the imprint area?
The personalization area on BC985 is 4 in x 4 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.
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.
How is this decorated?
Sand Carving is the primary method on BC985. 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. We can also run Laser Engraving and UV Printing on this item if the artwork calls for it. The personalization area on BC985 is 4 in x 4 in.
How should this be cared for?
Hand wash recommended. Avoid thermal shock. BC985 measures 5" x 6 1/4" and is made of glass. Glass gives you most of the visual authority of crystal at a materially lower cost, which is what makes it the practical choice when you are recognizing a whole team rather than one person.
