Not just An Award— a work of art.

For over 25 years, Garcia Art Glass has been the trusted name in handcrafted glass awards, recognitions, and gifts for the organizations and moments that matter most. Our clients span nonprofits, foundations, corporations, hospitality groups, and city, state, and federal government — united by one thing: the desire to honor someone with something truly unforgettable.

Our pieces have been presented at The Vatican, received by four of the last five presidential administrations, and placed in the hands of leaders across the music industry and beyond. Each one began as molten glass and became something that no trophy catalog could ever replicate.

What We Offer

Every recognition we create is handblown in our San Antonio studio — sculptural, singular, and built to outlast the moment it marks. Our awards collection spans three distinct forms, each fully customizable and designed around the story you want to tell.

  • Our signature handblown glass sculptures are designed from scratch around your story — the mission, the milestone, the person being honored. No two are alike, and that's exactly the point. These are the pieces that get displayed, passed down, and talked about long after the gala ends.

  • Recognition doesn't have to be monumental to be meaningful. Our smaller cast and paperweight pieces make powerful impressions at scale — each one finished by hand and available engraved with a corporate logo, brand mark, or recipient's name. Ideal for galas, board meetings, and milestone celebrations where every guest deserves something worth keeping.

  • For the gift that lives on a wall or anchors a room, our handblown platters, vases, and art glass vessels carry the same craftsmanship as our largest commissions — in a form made for display. A stunning choice for retirement honors, lifetime achievement recognition, or any occasion deserving something that doubles as art
