What is the Wimbledon ladies' singles trophy called?

The Wimbledon ladies' singles trophy is called the Venus Rosewater Dish.

The trophy is a partially gilded sterling-silver salver made in 1864 by Elkington & Co. of Birmingham. Its design reproduces a Renaissance work associated with Caspar Enderlein and is decorated with classical figures and symbols. Despite its name, the central figure is Sophrosyne, the personification of moderation, not the goddess Venus.

The dish was first presented to Blanche Bingley in 1886. Maud Watson, who won the first two Wimbledon ladies' singles titles in 1884 and 1885, was later added to the trophy's list of champions. The names of winners from 1884 to 1957 are inscribed inside, while later names appear on the outside.

The champion does not keep the original trophy: it remains with the All England Club. Winners receive a replica, which has been larger since 2007. A common mix-up is to confuse it with the Gentlemen's Singles trophy, the Challenge Cup.
