8-1/2" Wine Cooler Award Trophy with Perpetual Base

Silver Elegance and Perpetual Legacy for the Show's Greatest Honors

The grand champion of the horse show, the all-breed best-in-show at the dog club's national event, the grand champion livestock winner at the state fair, the standout athlete of the season, employees that go the extra mile, some achievements call for an award with genuine weight and presence, and the 8-1/2" Wine Cooler Award Trophy with Perpetual Base delivers both. Crafted in silver plate with detailed flowered handles and paired with a cherry-tone perpetual base holding 32 brushed aluminum plates, this piece becomes a permanent feature of your organization's recognition program for decades. Hodges Badge has been crafting silver award trophies since 1920, and the Wine Cooler with Perpetual Base represents the 100+ year tradition of honoring excellence with something beautiful enough to match it.

Distinguished Craftsmanship: Silver, Handles, and Presence

The 8-1/2" Wine Cooler stands 13-3/4" tall on the wooden base, with its silver-plated body and distinctive flowered handles that set it apart from a plain bowl or cup. The handles add sculptural interest and visual weight, making the piece immediately recognizable as a top-tier award. The silver-plated finish captures light from every angle and photographs beautifully, creating the kind of image that belongs on your organization's website, in the local paper, and in the winner's memory. The wine cooler is engravable with up to 2 lines of text at 30 characters per line when a logo or design is included, or up to 4 lines at 30 characters per line for text-only engraving; a logo-only option is also available. Text engraving is included free and adding a logo or design costs $5.00 per piece. The cherry-tone base measures 6-1/2" x 6-1/2" and provides a stable, authoritative foundation.

Perpetual Base with 32 Plate Capacity

Beneath the wine cooler, the cherry-tone perpetual base holds 32 silver brushed aluminum plates, each accepting up to 2 lines of text at 22 characters per line. The first plate engraving is included in the purchase price; additional plates for subsequent years can be engraved at a local shop to be added annually without disrupting the existing award. Those 32 plates mean your organization can give this same trophy as the top honor for more than three decades without replacing the base, a compelling argument for choosing the Wine Cooler with Perpetual Base as the cornerstone of an annual championship program. With each new name that goes on the base, the award grows more meaningful: it tells the full story of your event's highest achievers in a single display.

Permanent Display and Ordering Before Your Event

The Wine Cooler with Perpetual Base is a trophy built to live in a place of honor, a show office, a clubhouse trophy case, a fairground building, or an athletic facility lobby. The cherry-tone base anchors the piece securely, and the combination of silver vessel and warm wood-tone base creates a sophisticated two-material aesthetic that suits formal recognition settings. Order in advance of your awards ceremony, the Hodges Badge team will confirm lead time for both the bowl engraving and the first base plate so everything is ready when your champion steps forward.
