Waterford Crystal, a heritage brand synonymous with celebration, is the maker of the 2014 People’s Choice Awards. Designed and hand-cut by Waterford artisans at the House of Waterford Crystal factory, these bespoke, sparkling crystal trophies will have a new home with each talented winner.

Waterford has also custom designed the special awards for Ms. Hudson, the winner of “Favorite Country Music Icon” Tim McGraw, and the winner of “Favorite Series We Miss Most” Breaking Bad

Weighing 10 pounds and measuring 14 inches high, the award features small upright cuts on the base, which create the light refraction that Waterford is best known for. The large center wedge cuts on both sides of the top part of the award are exceptionally deep, showing the extreme thickness and clarity of the crystal. The award is modern is design, but steeped in Waterford Crystal heritage and craftsmanship.
