About your trophy...

CAUTION
Your trophy is fragile, and should be handled like fine china.
Your trophy is also VERY unique. It is made of porcelain (china) by Timilen Company, and each piece is individually serial numbered and recorded.
The original (mold master) was hand carved by Tim Prellwitz from a single block of curly maple adding a polyester grill and finish. From this master, five piece slip casting molds are made. The (2) 2003 and (6) 2004 USA finals trophies are all cast of Silver Falls Porcelain.

Inside your trophy will be found the artists mark (stylized initials TML) and the year it was cast. Following the letters: "KWC" is your serial number. Serial numbers 1 and 2 were glazed in Blue Agate, and are gifts to year 2003 first place finalists from KWCUSA.

Glazes used on the 2004 USA finals trophies are Bright Blue (first place, serial numbers 3 and 4), Arctic White (second place, serial numbers 5 and 6), and Moracco Red (third place, serial numbers 7 and 8).

On the front of your trophy is an engraved brass plate. You may remove it by gently pealing it off as it is temporarily held in place by a small piece of double sided sticky tape. Send it to KWCUSA along with your name (as you wish it to appear) printed on a piece of paper, and we will send it back with your name engraved in the top (blank) line. You may also take it to your local trophy store or engraver if you prefer.
