The amber runs deepest at the ends and in a band beneath the rim, while the lower middle of the wall clears to a pale, frosted band; a fine crackle of orange lines, like the cracks in old ice, crosses the walls, and gold-toned flakes are caught among the veins through the pale band. It is held up on two slim black posts rising from a flat metal plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eAn Amber Crescent Crossed by Fine Cracks\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe amber is the heart of this piece, and it is placed to frame the vessel: deep and saturated at the two swept-up ends and in a band under the rim, so the outline of the crescent glows, and pale through the lower middle, where the crackle shows most clearly. The veins are drawn finely across the walls and branch like twigs through the pale band, where the gold-toned flakes sit among them, and a fine gold-toned dust runs along the inside of the rim. The posts are slim and set well in from the ends, which lets the crescent's two points sweep up free, and the plate below keeps the stand steady and plain.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA console, a sideboard or a credenza will take it, placed so the whole crescent is seen from the side and the pale band faces the room. A window behind it makes the amber at the ends blaze, and light from the front picks out the flakes among the veins. On a dark surface the posts almost disappear and the vessel seems to float. It sits naturally beside timber, leather and brass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTint, Crackle and the Stand Beneath\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eFrom order, a standard piece runs to 3–4 weeks and a bespoke commission to 5–6. The resin can be tinted green, blue, red or smoke instead of amber, the crackle drawn finer or bolder, and the gold-toned flakes left out for a plainer band; the posts and plate can take a brass-toned or brushed silver finish in place of black. One long crate takes the vessel, the stand packed on its own beside it, and the vessel is carried level, supported beneath its keel along its length, never by the pointed ends. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGlowing amber lifted on slender black posts over a plate draws this crescent into our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/metal-sculptures\"\u003emetal sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/contemporary-modern-sculptures\"\u003econtemporary and modern sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e and our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic 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\u003e60cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e160cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e54cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e53 x 43 x 0.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAmber-Tinted Cast Resin with Gold-Toned Flakes, Hollow at a 4cm Wall, on a Metal Stand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54209613005147,"sku":"H434","price":12137.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/H434.jpg?v=1792073436","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-crackled-boat-vessel-on-a-metal-stand-resin-sculpture-160cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
