A thin black slab sits between the ball and the marble column beneath it. The amber is warm and light where the scoops open and deepens at the rims, and the white stone under it is figured with grey and gold.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eWarm Casting, Cold Stone, One Black Line\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eOn its own black stone this is the cut at the size the pattern was drawn for, and the amber is the tint that shows it best. Amber transmits across a wider range of thicknesses than a blue or a green does before it goes opaque, so on a ball with a thick rim and a thin scooped face it holds detail at both ends instead of burning out at one. It is the reason this colour appears on more of the cut than any other, and it is a material fact rather than a preference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis is floor work and needs open space before it, whether in an entrance, beside a staircase or across a large drawing room. At 156cm the ball rides above eye level, so the underside of each scoop is in view and the piece is read from below rather than into. The plinth needs a level floor. A plain wall behind serves it better than a patterned one, since both stone and casting are figured.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Column, the Amber, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eLead times run 5–6 weeks bespoke and 3–4 standard. The amber is taken toward red, the scoops are drawn further apart, and the stone is offered at other proportions. The column is also cut at other heights, which is the change that most alters the piece, since the proportion of stone to casting is most of the design at this size. The ball itself is made at other spans on this column. It travels as three crated items and is assembled in the room: the column takes two people and a trolley, the black slab drops onto it, and the ball rests on the slab unfixed. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn amber ball carried high on figured stone belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/organic-sculptures\"\u003eorganic sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e; amber warm in the scoops and deep at the edges leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a column piece for the foot of a staircase joins 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\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e55cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBase\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25 x 20 x 6cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e40 x 40 x 95cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin on a White Marble Plinth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070795993435,"sku":"X222","price":4522.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X222.jpg?v=1790957264","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-cut-sphere-on-a-white-marble-plinth-resin-sculpture-156cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
