Crackled gold-toned flakes are laid thickly over the outside of the bowl and up the back of the crest, broken by clear gaps, while the inner sweep is left entirely clear. A low black marble block comes with it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eA Gold-Flaked Bowl Beneath a Clear Amber Hook\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFlakes laid over a transparent body are a decision about what to hide and what to leave open. Worked thickly over the outer face of the bowl, they turn it into a broken, glittering shell, and the clear inner sweep, left without a single flake, becomes the place where the eye looks through the piece. Up the back of the crest the flakes thin out and stop short of its top, so the hook finishes in clear honey-amber. The gaps between the flakes keep the gold from reading as one flat surface: the amber shows through them, and their broken edges give the colour something to sit against.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA console, a cabinet top or a broad shelf suits it, read from the front with the hooked crest and the open bowl side by side. Warm light flatters it more than cool: under a daylight lamp the gold looks cold and the amber behind it loses its warmth. It also wants a position where it is seen from close at least sometimes, since the crackle in the flakes is what gives them their life, and at a distance the bowl reads simply as warm gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Gold, the Amber, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt takes 3–4 weeks to make as standard, and 5–6 weeks to make bespoke. Red can take the place of the amber, or the body can be cast clear, which changes what the gold sits against, and the gold-toned flakes can be laid in looser patches or left out. The black marble block can be made in white. The scoop can also be made at another span, with the crest and the bowl kept in proportion. Scoop and block travel in two boxes, the stone in its own, and the scoop is raised by the bowl, never by the crest. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA clear inner sweep inside a gold-flaked amber shell gives this scoop its place among our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/indoor-sculptures\"\u003eindoor sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecification\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable class=\"spec_table\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHeight\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e50cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e35cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 25 x 4cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin with Gold-Toned Flakes on Black Marble\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54075792589147,"sku":"H487","price":2174.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H487.jpg?v=1792073446","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-and-gold-hooked-scoop-on-marble-resin-sculpture-50cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
