{"product_id":"amber-three-ringed-stepped-bowl-resin-sculpture-25cm","title":"Amber Three Ringed Stepped Bowl Resin Sculpture - 25cm","description":"\u003ch3\u003eDescription\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn amber bowl ringed outside in three stepped bands. The bands step out from one another up the outside of the vessel, and each one puts a thickness of material at a different height, so the wall holds light all the way to the rim rather than thinning out of sight. The bottom ring is the foot, so nothing else is needed or sent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThree Rings, and the Lowest Is the Foot\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe rings are structural before they are decorative. A bowl of this proportion in a clear material has a wall that thins toward the rim, and a thin wall in amber reads as weak however strong it is, because the eye judges the material by how much light comes through it. Stepping the outside into three bands puts a thickness of material at three heights, so light is held at each step and the wall appears to be substantial all the way up. Making the lowest band the foot is the decision that keeps the piece from needing anything under it. A bowl on a turned foot has a join to explain; here the foot is simply the last of the three rings running a little wider than the two above it, so the vessel meets the surface on a ring of its own making and nothing is added.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt 25cm it is best seen from above, so a low table, a dining table or an island all suit. It is a sculpture and not tableware; it is not made for food or liquid. Light from above runs down the stepped outside and picks out each ring separately, which is the view the piece is built for; from the side the steps flatten into lines and the bowl reads as a plain amber form.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eThe Rings, the Amber, and Delivery\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eGive it 3–4 weeks as a standard piece, or 5–6 weeks as a bespoke commission. The rings are cut deeper or fewer, the amber is taken toward red, and the bowl is cast at other diameters. The bowl is also drawn deeper for a different proportion of wall to opening. A frosted finish is offered and changes the argument the rings are making, since a frosted body holds light at the surface and the steps stop doing structural work. It travels as a single item bedded on the lowest ring rather than on the rim, and one person can lift it in one hand. Our main studios are in the UK (Birmingham) and Dubai, with additional global workshops.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA bowl ringed in three steps belongs with our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/functional-sculpture-art-furniture\"\u003eart furniture\u003c\/a\u003e; amber held at each band leads to our \u003ca href=\"\/collections\/resin-sculptures\"\u003eresin sculptures\u003c\/a\u003e, and a small vessel for a side table 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\u003e15cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eWidth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDepth\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e25cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMaterial\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCast Amber Resin\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\u003c\/table\u003e","brand":"Giant Sculptures","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54070797533531,"sku":"X255","price":1553.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0869\/3383\/2027\/files\/X255.jpg?v=1790958463","url":"https:\/\/giant-sculptures.com\/products\/amber-three-ringed-stepped-bowl-resin-sculpture-25cm","provider":"Giant Sculptures","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
