Who ships stylish awards quickly?
If you’re looking for a commemorative object that’s not run-of-the-mill, lead times tend to run long. Chicago-based R.S. Owens and Company, which manufactures the Oscar and Emmy statuettes as well as hundreds of other awards, takes about four weeks to personalize one of the company’s many in-stock products, such as crystal sculptures, bronze cast figures, or glass plates.For one-of-a-kind blown-glass sculptures—and a shorter lead time—Smyrna, Georgia-based Lillieglass offers custom orders within seven to 10 days. The 40-year-old studio is run by father-and-son team Thom and Don Lillie, who create colorful glass art that ranges from delicate floral branches to dramatic abstract shapes. They ship nationwide, and clients include the Atlanta Press Club, which awarded Dan Rather a glass fly fisherman. (He’s a fan of the sport.)
Bennett Gallery, a family-operated art gallery in Placerville, California, sells original artwork as well as awards crafted from bronze and pewter sculptures. The abstract forms, which the gallery mounts on personalized marble bases, have been commissioned by companies such as NBC and Johnson & Johnson. Single in-stock awards can be personalized and shipped nationwide within a few days. (Larger orders of pewter awards typically require four to six weeks, and multiple bronze awards take six to eight weeks.)
