Thomas Lyte were commissioned by the International Hockey Federation to modify and restore the FIH Women’s Hockey World Cup trophy. The brief was simple, to use the existing trophy, affectionately known as “The Salad Bowl”, and to add to it, creating a trophy following a very specific design that would give the women’s prize the same look and stature as the men’s crown.
The existing bowl had to be re-made as the metal was too thin, but we retained the original handles to give the new trophy a link with the old. We then hand-made and assembled the new elements, including the plinth, to create the new trophy.
