The greatest prizes in sports

Wimbledon: Rosewater Dish While the men's winner of the famous tennis tournament held every summer at London's All-England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club gets a pretty nifty trophy, the women's prize is far more distinctive because it is not a trophy at all. The Rosewater Dish, also called a silver salver or the Venus Rosewater Dish, features images from mythology and was first presented in 1886. Venus Williams, a five-time Wimbledon winner, received her first dish in 2000 (left).
