We are ordering quite a few Perpetual Trophies and I would love to know who you use/suggestion. I’d love to order some bowls and some plates.
How much time do you have? I got some beautiful ‘trophies’ by going to auctions and estate sales. Why not look on ebay? It has a section for nice things like that. — This way, each trophy will be special.
Estate sales.
The National Horse Show (when it was in MSG) used to have a dealer who specialized in gorgeous trophies. I worked for a family who wanted to donate a trophy for the junior hunter division (back in the late 80s or early 90s) and after they contacted the NHS they sent me to pick out the trophy. It was great fun, also very expensive. If you contact The National, they might still have a record of where those challenge trophies were purchased.
I’ve gotten some nice trays and loving cups from Hodges -

I always thought that challenge trophies were fun/good idea too - won by the same rider or owner 3 times they retire/keep trophy (and typically donate a new trophy)
