The World Baseball Classic Championship Trophy

Created by Tiffany and Co

The sterling silver trophy stands twenty-five inches tall and weighs thirty pounds

It took Tiffany and Co master artisans more than two-hundred hours to create the piece

The design, inspired by the World Baseball Classic logo, features a 'global baseball'
with longitude and latitude lines and vermeil stitching of a baseball, as its centerpiece

The ball grows from a four-tiered diamond-shaped base,
representing the four rounds of the tournament,
and broadens into the signature logo collar, comprised of four separate elements,
representing the four pools made up of the sixteen teams participating in the inaugural event
