For this personalised appreciation project, the client wanted a meaningful display piece that conveys positivity, gratitude, and guidance. The concept centered on a symbolic “glass half full” message, represented through a sculpted hand holding an actual glass cup. The gift needed to be visually striking, emotionally expressive, and built to last.

Precision Sculpting With Clean Expression

We created the hand using high resolution 3D printing, allowing us to capture smooth contours, natural finger positioning, and a realistic grip. Internal reinforcement was added to support the weight of a real glass cup without compromising the thinness and elegance of the wrist and fingers.

The base was fabricated as a solid cylinder with a matte finish to match the aesthetic of the hand. The personalized message and team names were laser engraved around the circumference, ensuring clean readability and permanence without distracting from the centerpiece.

The final assembly secured the glass cup firmly while maintaining the symbolic gesture of lifting it. The smooth grey finish emphasized the form and kept the tone professional and modern.

The Result: A Thoughtful, Symbolic Recognition Gift

The completed piece communicates gratitude, optimism, and leadership through a simple but powerful visual. Its combination of precise sculpting, practical function, and personalized engraving makes it a meaningful display for offices, workspaces, and commemorative settings. This project demonstrates our ability to turn conceptual ideas into refined, emotionally resonant physical pieces.
