The upright of the Dawes is aquashaped from 3/8" starfire glass while the base is beveled 3/8" starfire with polished edges. The top margin of the Dawes is deeply incised to the contours of horizontally-arranged gears. The matching image of interlocking gears is etched on the back of the glass. The remaining surface provides ample space for additional artwork, especially where a horizontal format is optimal. An award that is particularly - and literally - geared to industrial, engineering and machinery enterprises and, metaphorically, to any organization wishing to celebrate teamwork and cooperation.
