Winners’ trophies

The trophy for the men’s singles at Wimbledon is topped by a unique pineapple design. A possible explanation would be that back in 17th-century England pineapples were one of the most sought-after commodities! Meanwhile, the trophy for ladies’ singles, also known as the Rosewater Dish, is richly decorated with mythological elements.
