We sometimes get asked the question "What is the difference between a cup and a trophy?". The short answer is a cup is a KIND of trophy, just like an apple is a kind of fruit, but read more to get the full scoop.
This traditional Loving Cup Trophy contains a figure top, the golden cup, and then a walnut base with a black brass engraved plate.The definition of a trophy is: "A cup or other decorative object awarded as a prize for a victory or success".
Trophies are made of two pieces - a top (called a trophy "figure") and a bottom (called a "base"). All trophies have a figure top, which can be a variety of shapes, colors and styles including a cup, a star, a person (such as an Oscar trophy) a sports figure, etc. To answer the question, a chalice cup can definitely be a figure top, but it doesn't have to be.
The base of the trophy contains the engraved text, including the name of the award, event name, winners name, for example.
There are many different types of trophies, the only limit is imagination! But Cup Trophies are a classic style that never goes out of fashion and endures the test of time. Discover our many trophies at our website, including Chalice Cup Trophies!
